Definition: A "acroscopic" (n.) in mathematics refers to a quantity that can be expressed as a rational number but not as a terminating or repeating decimal. In essence, it means something that can be represented exactly by a fraction but does not terminate or repeat after any finite number of digits. For example: 1/7 = 0.142857142857... or 3/4 = 0.75 Here, we represent the integers from 1 to 7 and repeating decimals from 0.1 to 0.9 respectively but we don't have any terminating or repeating decimal in between them. So "acroscopic" is a term used in mathematics where you can only represent very small numbers by fractions, and it does not have a finite number of digits after the decimal point.
