This thread should not have carried on this long... it runs along the lines of the concept of infinity in that 1 / 3 (for example) is an absolute number... but when converted to its decimal form there is an infinite number of decimal places, and this number no longer is exact, therefore 3 * .333333333.... = 1 is inaccurate due to the inability to have infinite decimal places

I had to print 11 pages today on a PDF.

It gave the % as 9% for each page.

so count by 9's all the way up to 90.

It went from 81 - 90 - 100% not 99.99...%

The computer believes that 99.99.....% = 100

So therefore it does = 1
