What is a terminating fraction?
A terminating fraction when represented as a single number is not an infinite repeating value. For example, in base 10, 1/3 is 0.3333… so it is not a terminating fraction. In contrast, 1/5 is 0.2. When you write it, is terminates. But this varies with the base of the number system. In base 3, 1/3 (really 1/10 base 3) is represented as 0.1.
