Regardless of whether I know it's 1 or not, it's still 1.

Let's take a number I've never computed before. 2856764/2856764. I've never computed it before, and I'm not even going off the premise that x/x is always 1. I'll put it into the calculator and see what I get.. I got 1 btw not .999999999. Weird right?

(0+x) + (0+x) + (0+x) =.1 Where x=0. Go.

Calculators are not useful for proving things

Edit : Are we getting trolled here? No one really thinks it isn't 1 right?

Edit 2 : doing long division to prove 9.00000/9 =0.999... isn't a proof unless first you prove your algorithm is correct

That's what I thought at first. How can anyone HONESTLY not see the difference. Eventually I gave up trying to reason with these people.

Edit: Sorry misread what you wrote, I thought you said "No one really thinks it is 1 right?"

Why is this topic still up lol
If the answer to something is 2.99 (repeated) then you don't put 3, same thing goes here.
