0.9999999999999999999999999999 OF or TIMES infinity? That would be an invalid operation because infinity is not a number so there's no defined operation between a decimal number and infinity.

Technically false. Practically true.

@raysam363 Technically true. 1/3 = .3 repeating, 1/3 x 3 = 1, and .3 repeating x 3 is .9 repeating. Thus, .9 repeating is 1.

@BlueVeins Still .99999999 repeating. But unless you're dealing with extremely small units, it counts as 1 in the field of math and science.

@raysam363 But that's a mathematical proof. It's provable using only basic arithmatic and substitution.
