It doesnt repeat or terminate when you divide it
A rational number is a ratio of two whole numbers. That's why they call it "rational".
16 / 23 = 0.6956521739130434782608[6956521739130434782608]...
Well, it takes its time, but after 22 digits the decimals repeat their sequence. Sry, but you didn't just debunk mathematics ;)
