Lucida Wrote:0.999... is an alternate representation of 1, just as 8/2 is an alternate representation of 4. Visually different, but the same number.

One can also "simplify" 0.999... (which is really an infinite series, 9*10^-n from 1 to infinity) to 1.

It's tempting to say that 0.999... is an infinite geometric converging series, but it's actually not. It it, however, best explained as the result of the infinite geometric series

which is 1 (or 0.999...).
