And what of x in
x = 1 - 1
Now construct 1/9th in base 3.
0.[9] in base 10(given 9 is followed by 10)
0.[2] in base 3 is the same.
x = 0.[2]
10x = 2.[2]
10x - x = 2
2x = 2
x = 1
I can disagree with Frederik Williams about
.3 base 3 = 1 base 3 in your numbering system
Now what was the benefit again? Why do I want a
3 in base 3?
