Understanding Repeating Decimals

Anil Kumar explains how to convert fractions into repeating decimals using bar notation. The video covers examples of fractions like 3/11, 5/6, and 5/12, demonstrating how to identify repeating patterns and apply bar notation. It also discusses complex cases like 4/7 and general observations about when repeating decimals occur, particularly when denominators have factors other than 2 or 5.
