Is there a name for finite rational numbers?
Here is what I mean:
3 / 2 = 1.5 - this number is finite
1 / 3 ~ 0.3333... - this number is not finite, it has infinite "3"
I need a term to "catch" the first type of numbers, but not the second.

Welcome to Mathematics Stack Exchange.
I think you mean terminating decimals.
(All rational numbers are finite. Some have only infinitely long decimal representations, though.)
