The part before the repetend |
2008-11-02 |
|
From Puerto:
Hello,
I teach mathematics in a bilingual programme using English. I have learned that the group of digits that repeat in a repeating decimal is called repetend but i need to know how are called the previous ones when the decimal is a delayed-repeating one. I mean, in 0.34555555 5 is the repetend, the period is one and...how are called 34?
Thanks in advance.

Repeating fractions |

From Juli:
My teacher recently put my math class to the test...
We were deiscussing repeating fractions and she asked
us to find out what the bar over a repeating decimal is called. I found out
it was called the vinculum. But she also said to find out what the number
under the vinculum was called. I can't seem to find it anywhere.
