Documenting Cargo Weights in Shipping Logistics

An operations associate at a logistics firm is converting fractional cargo weights into decimal format for a new automated manifest system. While performing long division for a specific weight, the associate observes that the division process does not result in a remainder of zero; instead, the remainders begin to cycle in a predictable pattern. Based on the standard procedure for converting fractions to decimals, identify the correct terminology and notation required for this task.
