HemiBeers Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) Good enough to me. When infinity finally comes to an end, it's going to have some explaining to do. as a programmer part of the time, i usually just round that shit to 2 decimal places. Life would be much simplier if all insignificant shit could be rounded and forgotten. Edited July 30, 2015 by 2112FirstStreet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 If n = 0.999999999.....Then 10n = 9.999999999...... 10n - n = 9n9.999999999 - 0.999999999 = 9 Therefore, 9n = 9Divide both sides by 9 n = 1 :yes: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explain :o In order for a number to be truly 1/3 of 100, or 1, it has to equal 100, or 1, when added to 2/3, or 1/3 and 1/3. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we know that 1/3 = 0.3333333333....(ad infinitum), then we know that 3 x 0.333333333....(ad infinitum) equals 1 exactly.
