because it's going entirely off patterns. 3/3 will always = 1 and not just have 0.333 added on from the one before
The Resonte!:
1/3 is not 0.33333 it's 1/3
on a purely theoretical math level no but if you actually want to use it in real life it's probably better to round it a couple digits up
Nonnel:
It is literally not equal to 1 but when dealing with more simple things, it's okay to round it to 1.
EcstaticEggplant:
guys we aren't talking about the actual number 0.9999 or 0.3333, we're talking about it going to infinite.
