Your statement is both wrong and right, Afro. Heres your logic:
1/3 = .3333333 2/3 = .6666666 3/3 = .9999999 BUT .999999 = 1, so 3/3 = 1 Whys is .999999 = 1 though? Lemme show you. if x = .999999 then 10x = 9.99999 if we subtract these two statements we get: 10x - x = 9.99999 - .99999 so: 9x = 9 x = 1 1 = .9999999 Any number divided by itself is = 1, except if those numbers are zero and infinity. It is actually possible to come up with a real number by dividing them using limits, but thats calc stuff and is pretty complicated. And yes, when you divide any non-zero non-inifinite number by zero you get infinity. Thats math. That makes sense. Also, EvilBean, your right 10 x 0 = 0. BUT, think of it this way. multiplication is the opposite of division, so doesn't it only make sense that you get 2 different answers? Dividing 3 and 5 will get you a far different answer than if were to multiply 3 and 5. |
