equal: same in numerical amount/value

In future, please be careful to mark quoted material to differentiate it from your own work. An in line quotation usually just calls for double quotation marks.

Large chunks of text, I would suggest the quotation tool. ctrl+bracket to increase the levels within it.

Very interesting!
Though I didn't completely read this, personally, I've always agreed since third grade that 10 - 9.9999999999 repeating was equal to 0 and have seen a lot of proofs on it too.

I just realized I already refuted your argument but you keep bringing it back up acting like i did not refute it.

You realize that your round 3 argument was already refuted in my round 3? Please look at the 1st time I cited brilliant.org in the round 3.

@seldiora

you also have not rebutted any of my claims which means you say everything I said is correct.

This guy fails to realize its not n geometric sequence, it is a fractional infinite geometric sequence.

Also 1/10^infinity is so small it is undefinable like the width of a line

please watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--HdatJwbQY

Ghandi series are some bank notes used in India. Can you please answer my question?

infinities get really weird. Look up the Ghandi series and how you can derive 0, 1, 1/2, from 1-1+1-1+1-1+1....

It is 0.1134 not 31134. And that is a calculator upside down which is not the same as right side up.

Can you please define "not same in every circumstance". Also, nobody says 31134 instead of hello. My argument still stands.

wrong. "31134" can mean "hello".

@seldiora

What do you mean "not same in every circumstance"

A number is a number. It is the same value in every equation and every instance of mentioning.
