(1/3)(3) = 3/3 does not equal .9999 because it is a whole. .9999 is a .000001 away from being a whole. 1 is a whole number. .9999 is a decimal. Yes it can be rounded. But it's like when people say there's a 99% chance of a medicine not working, people believe it as fool proof, when one person comes in and the medicine does not work, that is the reason of it not being 100% and or in this case, 1 or a full whole number.

But what number separates .99999~ and 1? The answer is 0.000000~, or 0. Therefore, they are the same number.

I always got F's in math and yes I dropped out as well but aradae, please tell me you were kidding cause' I'll laugh with you if you were.

I didn't know you guys already had this argument. Has this board undergone it's chuck norris phase yet

Edit: LOL, CN the texas walker ranger has been filtered to Raol Duke. I'm assuming the mods here grew tired of him too.

Yes. (You're better at articulating your thoughts than I am. :3)

If you add the infinity nothing does, but if there is no infinity and the number spiraled throughout forever, an infinate .00000 with a 1 at the end would as well. .9999999999999999999~ then .00000000000000000>1~. 0 does not = 1.

There's no such thing as an infinite .0000 with a 1 at the end. If something is infinite then it never ends. If there was a 1 at the end then it wouldn't be infinite.

Then how do we not know there's not something at the end of all the 9's. What if there is a 1 or a 3 or a 4 we can't see due to the fact we think that it's just constant 9's. 1.1 isn't even one. It is 1 and 1/10.
So if we don't count as 1.1 as 1. (1 1/10)
Why would we count .9999~

There ISN'T something at the end of all the 9's because there IS no end to all the 9's. .99999~ is an INFINITE amount of decimal places, meaning that the 9s go on forever and ever and ever and ever. 1.1 isn't 1 because 1.1 - 1 = 0.1. 1 - .999999~ = .00000~, which can be written as 0, therefore they are the same number.

I didn't think you could subtract infinities, yes, it would equal zero with the infinity's but the fact I can't get my head around, is if the 9's stopped for what ever reason, because non-infinitive, 1 - .9999999999999999999999999 would = .0000000000000000000000001
I just don't see 1 as being an infinite. That's like saying 2.99999999999999~ is 3. and 3.99999999999~ is 4 and so on.
