Answer:

Rational number

Explanation:

In decimal form, rational numbers are either terminating or repeating decimals. For example, 1/7 = 0.142857, where the bar over 142857 indicates a pattern that repeats forever. A real number that cannot be expressed as a quotient of two integers is known as an irrational number.
