Please note that the fractional repeating part is recurring. and so that 4th temporary variable assignment will be this way-> temp=x*10000 - x= 233456.34563456... - 23.34563456.... = 233433.0 ( mark the fractional part is 0 now since the infinitely repeating 3456... will get cancelled) In this case you can say that 4 places are repeating. But yes its according to the maths and in any programming language whenever you divide the numerator and denominator you wont get this infinitely recurring decimal places.
@divya, also your approach wont work if the recurring fractional digits start after few places from the decimal like in the case of 23.123345634563456.... (note here after the decimal place 123 is not repeating while 3456.. after this 123 is repeating.) What I suggest in this case is keep dividing the numerator by denominator and at every step keep inserting the tupple (remainder, quotient) of that division step in a set. and before inserting in the set check whether it already exists. If yes then the all the quotients following from that point (including the point) will be recurring.
