1 divided with 3 is 0.33333...
0.333333... x3 is 1. But how? it should be 0.9999.. It that means that infinity have end? 1 is never 1 its 0.9999...

 >> Anonymous Sat Jan 27 16:28:50 2018 No.9465792 >>9465736This is the millionth time we've had this thread, and you're probably a troll, but just in case.Ask yourself what exactly a decimal expansion should mean. If I write 0.374, that means 3/10 + 7/100 + 4/1000 right? For infinite decimal expansion, I need to do an infinite sum. For example, 1/3 is 0.333... because the following equation is true,$\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{3}{10^n} = \frac{1}{3}$This is the sort of thing you learn when you do calculus. So now that we have a sensible definition for a decimal expansion, we can easily prove, with calculus, that 0.999... is 1. It's just because we have the following equality$\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{9}{10^n} = 1$If you want 0.999... to be something else, you'll need to give me a different definition of what a decimal expansion is supposed to be that makes it work. If you want 0.999... to be "infinitely close to 1, but not equal to 1", that won't work in the real numbers, because you can find a real number between any two distinct numbers. So you would need to change a natural definition and leave the real numbers to make it work. It's not really something that makes sense to do.
 >> Anonymous Sat Jan 27 19:04:11 2018 No.9466095 But OP is saying it's a bug. Not that the math doesn't work out. We all understand that the math checks out. What we're saying is that it's incorrect despite the correct math. That just because the math is true doesn't mean it actually is. Sorry man, 1 and 0.99999... are different numbers. They are literally different numbers. One of them has a 1 before the decimal. The other only has value after the decimal -- no matter how infinite the expansion is, you cannot cross that unless another value is added to it. This problem has nothing to do with the math. We get the math. The math checks out.

It holds for an infinite case of infinite tests, which is what setting the limit to infinity means. If it were capable of naturally summing 1 at any point, any extended infinite work would take that 1 and blow it up towards infinity. You can only get 1 by:>doing finite workand>having a decimal cutoff limit for roundingand in such case, the decimal accuracy limit and the finite work limit would be parts of the answer itself, that it does not suffice to just say they both equal "1", but rather more like $A = 1_{n=5}^{d.=1} | B = 1_{n=2}^{d.=1}$, or more loosely as $A = 0.\bar{9}_{\frac{1}{2}} | B = 0.\bar{9}_{\frac{9}{10}}$ or even $A = 0.\bar{9}_{\underline{0.5}} | B = 0.\bar{9}_{\underline{0.9}}$ towards the efforts of not fucking up the working definition of infinity so we dont literally just say A = B like actual retards, so we don't say 2 = 1 like mongoloids.

Whether n is 1 to 100 or 1 to 100000 or 1 to infinity, the limit is a treated as natural. This is the first fuckup because infinity is not a number.Treating it as a number in the equation of classical calculus to sum the results $A|B = 0.\bar{9}$ leads to another fuckup of redefining infinity. In the working sum cases, infinity meant do "a (presumably concatenated) infinite amount of work". In the answer repeating decimal case, infinity then means "an equivalent finite number" in $0.\bar{9}$Classical calculus abuses infinity like a whore without a pimp, constantly reassigning it any arbitrary definition that just so happens to produce the requested result and completely regardless to whether the current definition contradicts another definition so the definition of infinity in the equation is different than the definition of infinity extracted as a resulting sum from the very same equation.It is fucking schizophrenic paradoxical bullshit. Infinity means uncountably large. If you wish to set a limit to infinity but still receive some kind of sensible result right now by instantiating hidden rules of decimal accuracy to produce a result like $0.\bar{9}$, where the overline says there is an uncountably large amount of 9's, we have to add the same concatenating feature of infinity used in the sums, because:$x = 1\rightarrow\infty \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{x}{(x+1)^n} < \frac{(x+1)}{(x+2)^n}$ defines an infinite amount of unequal values that classical calculus claims they all equal $0.\bar{9} = 1$.Calculus' use of infinity is a brainlet paradigm.
