	Log in to remove this sponsored message quote Moonrise There is no error, you are simply wrong. If you think that providing legitimate sources is somehow "immature", you have to work on redefining the word for yourself. Really you should leave, because your inability to accept the facts is really quite troublesome. While I have actually provided a mathematical proof and several supporting sources with various other proofs, you have provided nothing. You are acting immature by solely saying "You're wrong because these other guys say so", without even stopping to think outside of the box. If you stop for even a second to think, you'll realize that all of these guys are just saying "Screw it, it's close enough". -------------------

	First of all, I have provided you with proof that your proof was wrong. Second of all, I do not base my beliefs on what other people believe. I use facts to conclude information on my own. Third, I can see that you have not stopped with the childish insults, so I am going to depart now. However, if you find a legitimate proof that proves that .9(repeating) = 1, feel free to PM me the proof, and if correct, I will accept that you are correct and apologize. ------------------- quote Onilink Oh, and Gribbz, honestly, stop AC:WW FC: 2107-9935-0442

	quote Corey13 Heres an equation for you Assume x = 0.99999... then 10x = 9.99999... 10x-x = 9.99999... - 0.99999... 9x = 9 x = 9/9 but x = 0.99999... as assumed in the beginning. So, 9/9 = 0.99999.... Wow Corey, and I thought I was good at Maths. That interesting though, the calculator is wrong. ------------------- Facebook

	If you have 9 apples, and also nine baskets to put each one in, you have no apples left whatsoever. Hope that helps. -------------------

	Talk about hurting one's head. I think the simplistic and sole answer is 1. You have 1 gorup of 9, no less, no more.

	quote Chad I got bored the other day so I was messing around with a calculator. I noticed that 1 divided by 9 equaled .1, with the one repeating forever. Two divided by 9 equaled .2 with the two repeating forever. The same was true as I increased the numerator by 1 each time. I noticed that once you got to 5/9, the calculator would show as many places as possible until it would finally round up so 5/9 would equal something like: ".55555555556", even though actually the six is a five, and the five before it caused it to round up. 8/9 equaled .888888888889, so I tried 9/9. It came out as just a "1". Now I'm wondering, when I entered it, did it compute the answer as .999999999999 and repeating, so it rounded to the farthest place it could show, which made all of the numbers before it round up and keep on going until it hit 1, or what? I could see how the "any number divided by itself" rule would say it equals 1, and not .9 with the nine infinitely repeating, but I really don't know. Which do you think is correct and why? 9/9,8/8,7/7, etc. all equal one for a reason.. wanna no why? 9/9 reduces down to 1/1, and 1/1 equals 1. anything over itself whether it be 9/9 or 125136/125136 will always be equal to itself because 1/1 equals 1 ------------------- Pets

	I'm pretty that sure 1, and .9999999999 repeating are roughly the same number, since there are NO numbers that fall between them.

	Honestly, King Asian, they are the same number. Really! 1.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000... -.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999... --------------------------------------------------- .0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000...

Any decimal place you name (say, the four billion three hundred twenty-eight million two hundred seven thousand four hundred ninety-fifth) has a 0 in it. A number with a 0 in every decimal place is certainly 0." (emphasis added) - http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/57174.html ------------------- Latest NAMFox (Sept 2 2011)
