General - 0.9999.... = 1.0 - View Post

The problem comes when you operate on an infinite scale. There's no way you can reach infinite. Infinite + 1 = Infinite. Going by that logic, yeah, the diference between 1 to 0'9999...·n Infinite is 0000000.... ·n Infinite + 1. And Infinite + 1 = infinite. So there's no difference between 1 and 0'99999....

1/0 = infinite :P

 

1/3 = 0.3 periodic.

3(1/3) = 3(0.3 periodic) --> 1 = 0.9 periodic.
