nrepetendIn arithmetic, that part of a repeating decimal which recurs continually; the circulate. It is called a simple repetend when only one figure recurs, as .3333, etc., and a compound repetend when there are more figures than one in the repeating period, as .029029, etc. It is usual to mark the single figure or the first and last figures of the period by dots placed over them: thus, the repetends above mentioned are written .3 and .029. See repeater, 3.
