IYPT Question--Coin and Magnet I don't really need an answer. I just need someone to guide me or tell me what I need to study on. Or if you have any ideas on this question, feel free to express them. Place a coin vertically on a magnet. Incline the coin relative to the magnet and then...

SammyS thanks for agreeing... Though I'm still looking for a mathematical way of proving it.

Thanks for taking your time Hioj; But even terminating decimals have an infinite decimal sequence: Take 0.3, the infinite decimal sequence would be 0.2999... These two are exactly equal (if you transform 0.2999... to a fraction, it would be 3/10) So all rational numbers do have an infinite...

Thanks HallsofIvy... I totally completely understand the whole terminating and repeating decimal concept. The thing is I just wanted to know if there is any written mathematical form of proof for it. By the answers I've gotten so far it means it's just a matter of understand the question. I...

Sorry. My bad about posting it here. Can you expand on the "long division"?

Its all in the title: How can we prove every rational number has a never ending decimal view. Since I translated the question from another language, I didn't know how to put it. I know it's true because: 1=0.9999... and i.e.: 1/3=0.333... or 24.67=24.669999... The problem is...
