Re: What is wrong between decimal and fraction? Posted: May 28, 2007 6:01 PM Plain Text Reply
Dear All
It seems that whenever I go to fight ignorance the issues gets frozen, and I guess I shall be able to freeze the sci.math for it's non-productivity to science of mathematics
or may it is forbidden for science to come out of hear
You may have noticed the old wrong believe about the issue
And for those who feel ASHAMED to talk about it I shall state it here before them:
Any positive real number (except one) is a unique production of prime numbers with each prime raised to a non-zero integer and therefore of unique decimal representation
Hence, the irrational numbers are all those numbers that have endless decimal digital expansion in any number system, provided that their terminating digits are not all zero
From this you can see now why (0.999...) is an irrational number even we don't know its prime factorization and therefor can't be equal to one
And the lines between facts and illusions are really invisible
