0.9999999... (think about it for a moment)
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
Hello fellow maths freaks, and people who have found this page by accident. 0.9 reccurring is a most peculiar number. It keeps getting closer to 1 the further you go, but it never gets there. Not only this, but 1-0.9 rec. = 0.0 rec. with a 1 on the end. Also it is impossible to actually get 0.9 rec. Go on, try! It can not be turned into a 1/2 type fraction and I think that it's an irrational number. If you are as bored as I was when I started to think about it, do discuss in a forum sometime.
