Question about decimals I have a math problem
205.17/713.95
I worked it out all by hand and eventually got to 34.79797241 as the calculator stated. This problem was very time consuming as it took a lot of work to complete. I was wondering if there was a simpler way of cutting my answer short that would also be correct?. I am unable to determine if this number is terminal or repeating as the decimal answer looks repeating with the 7979 but then appears to be terminal with the 241 part. Im assuming this number is terminal? Do I just need to suck it up and do the math or Is there a certain part of the decimal place value it would be appropriate to just stop at?

One more question unrelated to my previous questions.
I originally tried to solve this problem out of (A.) 713.95the divisor /by 205.17 the dividend as I know I am ALWAYS supposed to put the bigger number in the dividend section, but I am curious on how I would go about solving this question the opposite way (B.) with 205.17 as the divisor /by 713.95 as the dividend. I know this is possible as the calculator states
(A.) 713.95/205.17 =3.479797241
(B.) 0.2873730653 (I'm guessing this overwhelmingly long decimal is also terminal?)
