But it's still possible to have fun with them.
Tip: Before you proceed, you may want to recap the definition of Rational Numbers.

Qn: Are all recurring numbers rational?
If NO, how do we know??
If YES, how do we prove a recurring number is rational?

Hint: Let 0.15151515... be x.

Welcome!
Come come!
Numbers can be intriguing.
Men have studied them for a really long time.
And are still doing so...
The search for the largest prime number goes on. (Long after the Titanic song has ended!)
So what you are about to embark on in this blog is a teeny-weeny drop in the HUGE ocean of numbers...
But don't worry, this is just leisurely moonlight sail. Let's try to make this a smooth enjoyable one. Inflatable life-vest included.
