Granny.
You use the euclidian division algorithm whenever you divide 'by hand'. Try to divide 1/3 using pencil and paper you see that you go into a repetition quite instantly, and you realize that you can fill in the threes as long as you like.
Those of you who don't know the euclidian division algorithm - google it.

I should have used Fabian's argument at Uni .. life would have been so much easier!

Oh Fabian darling, i shall try the algorithm "by hand", but only till i get the repetitions down correctly then i hope you will show me the more advanced form, in person maybe. Just thinking of those Rock & Roll hands of yours makes me .......oops.

The whole point of mathematical proof is its VIGOUR!
the reason that numbers and mathematical proof is vigour is because they go on infinitely. this is why we use numbers as time because they can be easily repeated and will continue on no matter what. if you can give me the highest number in the world known, ill gladly take it and add 1 to make it bigger.
Aniways id like to move on to pi. does anybody know any puzzles that include pi? i like pie.

IF you look at .99... as the Series E(sigma)9/(10^n)
E 9/(10^n) = 9 E (1/10)^n
It is a geomentric series so the sum of the series is a/(1-r)
9*((1/10)/(1-1/10)= 9*(1/10)(10/9) = 9*(1/9) = 9/9 = 1
.99... = 1
