title: How to store 1/3 as a decimal in MySQL
body: <p>I am trying to figure out how to store 1/3, or any fraction which results in an infinitely repeating decimal value in MySQL. I cannot just use 3.333333 because it obviously does not total to 100. I have been reading about the float datatype but i'm not sure if this will work. Any help would be appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
