1/3 > 1/3

[Ethanael]

This is kinda interesting.

1/3 = .333...
2/3 = .666...

You'd think that 3/3 would = .999...

But it's not. It's 1.

So, if 1/3 = .333..., then 3 times that (3/3) would = .999.
Unless, at some point, 1/3 = more than .333.

1/3 > 1/3

Fear me and my math skills!

AAAAH!!! Now I'm all dizzy.

At least, I know that a²-16/a²-2a-8 = a-4/a-2.

[Ethanael]

a²-16/a²-2a-8 = a-4/a-2.

Ha! That pwns!
I'm showing it to my math teacher on Monday.

[Father_Chaos]

Well, in fact it really works .

I made it in notepad in two minutes.

FALSE

Actualy, when you times .333... by 3, you will get 1. If you simply type in decimal and then 3 repeatedly you will get .999... etc. However, if you divide 1 by 3 in a calculator then multiply it by three you get one. Therefore, you math is flawed. This is because 1/3 it is a repeating decimal, and no matter what, you cannot simply type it out, you have to use a calculator to get the correct answer, or your wrong. 3/3 will always equal one, because it is one whole.

I'm well aware that that's not how it actually is, it's just something interesting to think about.
And if you typed all that out, you obviously thought about it.

I win.

1/3 is, in fact, bigger than .333333333333333333333333333333...
You can type out, write, imagine or determine as many decimal digits as you want for 0.3..., 1/3 will always be bigger than that number.

So yeah, stop trying to impress people with "OMFG I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS" crap.

a²-16/a²-2a-8 = a-4/a-2

how is that special?

It isn't...
Let's see:
a²-16 = (a-4)(a+4)
a²-2a-8 = (a+4)(a-2);
So yeah, (a-4)(a+4)/(a+4)(a-2) = (a-4)/(a-2).

Sad.

[_CM]

wow... Let me be as cool as you Father_Chaos

(a²+2ab+b²)/(a+b)² = 1 lol who would have thought

and this one lol

cos(45°)/sin(45°) = 1 = tan(45°) lol!
