By "repeating", do you mean "recurring" (the only term I have ever seen for values like 0.33333.....)?
If so perhaps the easiest way is by a division (hard to represent in a very basic text editor not set up to represent arithmetic):
3[u])1.00000000[/u]
3 into 1 won't go so carry 1:
3 [u])0.10[/u] = 0.3 remainder 0.01 so carry 1:
3[u])0.310[/u]...
0.33....
And so on, if that survives being posted!
