Description

0.999… repeating is exactly 1. Not almost, exactly. Each new 9 fills nine tenths of the gap that is left. Zoomed in, a gap always seems to remain. At real size, it shrinks below any length you can name. With infinitely many 9s, nothing is left between 0.999… and 1, so they are the same number. #math #maths #shorts
