Terminating decimals have a limited number of digits after the decimal point.
Example: 3005.3181 = 3005 3181/10000
Recurring decimals have one or more repeating numbers after the decimal point which continue on infinitely.
Example: 9655.3333 = 9655 3333/10000 = 333/1000 = 33/100 = 1/3 (rounded)
Irrational decimals go on forever and never form a repeating pattern. This type of decimal cannot be expressed as a fraction.
Example: 0.412040350.....
