study the recurring decimals where the denominator of the fractions are multiples of prime numbers. what patterns can you observe about these recurring decimals? thx alot =]

Now, THAT is a homework problem you should do yourself. Have you looked at
1/3=.33333...
1/5=.2
1/7=.142857142857....
1/11=.090909....
etc?
What patterns have you found? Perhaps you should do a few more to see what really happens. After you've done up to, say, 1/47 you might figure something out.

if the denominator is a multiple of 2 and or 5 then the decimals will be terminating.otherwise recurring.

in case of habitual decimals you the two flow away it to the closest 2 to 3 places if its 2 places its 0.21 and if its 3 places its 0.213 after all the third decimal place has a digit 5 or extra advantageous than which you would be able to enhance the 2d place with the aid of a million flow away the answer to 2 decimal places

If you look to the recurring pattern of numbers. And when it occurs it is the number/the same number of 9s
ie:
0.343434... is 34/99
0.111111 is 1/9
0.333333 is 3/9 (=1/3)

Repeating decimals
2/3 = 0.66666666. . .
Non repeating decimals
5/7 = 0.714285714. . . .
Terminating decimals
3/5 = 0.6
3/4 = 0.75
