Is that trivial?
- dragonwriter 3y ago> Is that trivial? My understanding is that it is a trivial (or at least well-known) result that a rational will always have a finite, infinitely-repeating terminal sequence in any base.
- xigoi 3y agoYes. It can quite easily (depending on your knowledge of basic number theory) be proven that a number is rational if and only if its digits (in any base) eventually become periodic.
