What do we want to do with chains of repeating sequences such as 0.333333333333? Do we want 111111111111/333333333333 or 333333333333/1000000000000 or do we need to truncateround out the repetitions before evaluation (producing 3/10? or possibly even 1/3). --[[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 12:52, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
