He was eventually supported by eight additional soldiers , who were subjected to verbal threats and repeatedly hit by clubs , stones and snowballs .

A repeating or recurring decimal is decimal representation of a number whose digits are periodic ( repeating its values at regular intervals ) and the infinitely - repeated portion is not zero . It can be shown that a number is rational if and only if its decimal representation is repeating or terminating ( i.e. all except finitely many digits are zero ) . For example , the decimal representation of 1⁄3 becomes periodic just after the decimal point , repeating the single digit `` 3 '' forever , i.e. 0.333 ... . A more complicated example is 3227 / 555 , whose decimal becomes periodic after the second digit following the decimal point and then repeats the sequence `` 144 '' forever , i.e. 5.8144144144 ... . At present , there is no single universally accepted notation or phrasing for repeating decimals .

The lac operon ( lactose operon ) is an operon required for the transport and metabolism of lactose in Escherichia coli and many other enteric bacteria . Although glucose is the preferred carbon source for most bacteria , the lac operon allows for the effective digestion of lactose when glucose is not available through the activity of beta - galactosidase . Gene regulation of the lac operon was the first genetic regulatory mechanism to be understood clearly , so it has become a foremost example of prokaryotic gene regulation . It is often discussed in introductory molecular and cellular biology classes for this reason . This lactose metabolism system was used by François Jacob and Jacques Monod to determine how a biological cell knows which enzyme to synthesize . Their work on the lac operon won them the Nobel Prize in Physiology in 1965 .
