I've never heard that word before. :/ While the language of math itself is international, some words which are related to math aren't, so I don't really know what that means :-3 |
"Truncate" means stop after a certain point. A truncated decimal is one that stops after a certain point - in base 10, it's fractions whose denominators are a power of 2 multiplied by a power of 5.
1/3 has only one decimal representation - it's not a truncated decimal.
