1 = 0,999999999999?

1/3 = 0,3333333333
2/3 = 0,6666666666
3/3 = 0,9999999999

Or if you live in another country just replace the "," with "."
(thanks overmind)

..And why can't you divide by 0?
That sucks too!
































:d

 

Lol.

 

no,
1/3 = 0.3333333333
2/3 = 0.6666666666
3/3 = 0.9999999999


>_>

 

These are aproximations, since our number system cannot be broken evenly into thirds.

 

that reminds me of that thing my college math teacher taught me about how 28 divided by 7 = 13

 

Code:

        _
1/3 = 0.3
        _
2/3 = 0.6
        _
3/3 = 0.9 = 1

No approximations used. The bar indicates an infinite repetition of the 
number after the decimal point.

 

1/4 = 25%
2/4 = 50%
3/4 = 75%
4/4 = 100%

1/5 = 20%
2/5 = 40%
3/5 = 60%
4/5 = 80%
5/5 = 100%

1/6 = 16.5
2/6 = 33
3/6 = 49.5
4/6 = 66
5/6 = 82.5
6/6 = 99

3 and 6 cannot be evened.

 

That's not right. Each and every one of those fractions, except for three over six and six over six, are recurring decimals. You can't round off a fraction to a single decimal place and the base every other fraction off of it.

 

So your point is?

 

My point is that what you'd written was wrong and proved nothing.

 

So.

 

No.

 

wasn't this discussed before? can't find the old thread though.

 

It was.

I'm going with Na on this one cause he knows everything.

Also there the fact that our numerical system is broken up into multiples of ten. Not additives, but multiples. Therefore, the additive functions you have are illogical.

I think, not 100% on that.

 

WE should use a system based on 12, you can divide it by 2, 3, 4

 

12
1,2,3,4,6 and12


10
1,2,4,5 and 10

 

You forgot 6 drie.

 

of course you can divide it by 6, you can divide it by 3

 

What about nine then? You can divide it by three, but not six. Evenly anyway.
