The 16 digits on a credit card are divided into groups that each serve a different purpose. The first digit identifies the industry the card belongs to (banking, airline, etc). The next five digits identify the issuer of the card. The next nine digits are the owner's account number, and the final digit is a failsafe that completes the code. The reason many locations only ask for the end of the card is that the magnetic strip on the card also contains the number, and this is a quick method of ensuring the number on the card and the number on the strip match up.

What is repeating as an fraction?
A decimal fraction is said to be repeating if, after a finite number of digits, there is a string of a finite number of digits which repeats itself for ever more.For example,1537/700 = 2.19571428571428...The first three digits in the decimal representation are not part of the repeating pattern. After that, however, the string "591428" repeats endlessly.

Can all rational numbers be written as decimal numbers?
Yes; by the definition of an irrational number (a number with an infinite amount of changing decimal digits as the number grows minutely larger), the converse is true about rational numbers a rational number like (1/3) [0.33333333...] can be notated with a bar over any of the digits to notate a repeating decimal digit.

If it ever ends, then it is.If there are no digits after the decimal point, it's an integer.
What is a recurring decimal?
A recurring decimal is a number which is written in decimal notation and in which, after a finite number of digits, a string of digits repeats for ever more. The repeating string need not start straight after the decimal point. For example, 5/26 = 0.1923076923076... with the string 923076 (but not the 1 at its start) repeating for ever.
