When fractions are expressed in different bases, they can be terminating or repeating. For example, when $\frac{1}{5}$ is expressed in base $3,$ the result is

0.\overline{0121}_3 = 0.01210121 \dots,
which is repeating.

 

When $\frac{1}{288}$ is expressed in base $31,$ is it terminating or repeating?
