How it works
A fraction means division: the numerator (top) divided by the denominator (bottom). Use long division, adding zeros after the decimal point until the remainder is zero or a remainder repeats. If the simplified denominator has only 2 and 5 as prime factors, the decimal terminates; otherwise it repeats forever, and the repeating digits are marked with a bar.
