1,3

Its precise value cannot be presented in decimals, only an arbitarily good approximation. Decimals are inconvenient. Avoid them.

>>5867508
show me pi as a fraction.
everything is fucking inconvenient in math.

>>5867513
>show me pi as a fraction.

2pi/2

It's .25 in dozenal.

>>5867513
Show me pi in decimals. Not an approximation but the precise value. Do it.

SAGE GOES IN ALL FIELDS

>>5867516
Do you have some problem with irrational numbers?

>>5867519
Yes, they are not rational. I prefer rationality.

>>5867452

>>5867518
Sage is not a downvote.

>>5868512
Do you even know how 4chan works?
Fucking newfags everywhere... read the rules, dude

>>5867516
is this what you are looking for?

It is 0.3334.

>>5869145
>lel, battle royale?

>>5867452
0.3.3

then 0.3.3'43234
0.3.3'24975
then 0.3.3'68101

and voila you have 1...1

>>5869148
Is this a movie reference?

>>5869148
It is a good thing I woke up early yesterday.

>>5869685
Rationalism was invented in the 17th century, not by the ancient greeks.

>>5873172
yeah they fucking knew better

>>5873636
Clearly not. For example they assumed the existence of magical souls.

>>5873761
Well that's an unjustified assumption.

>simple question
>over 20 replies without any real answer

It's 0.3...

>>5875366

LOL LOOK AT THIS FAG

>>5867514
I lold

>>5875366
It must not be simple for you, as you are wrong.

>>5875683

>>5876206
>as you are wrong.

Well, let's hear it then. This ought to be good.

>>5876643

>>5876664
Do you understand how the decimals are constructed?

>>5869168
What the fuck is a number with TWO decimal points?

>>5867515
That's not how "dozenal" works.

.333333333333... (infinity of 3's)
proof :
.333333333333...=sum from n=1 to +infinity of 3/(10^n)=3/10*(sum from n=0 to+infinity of (1/10)^n=3/10*(1-lim n->+inf of (1/10)^n)/(1-1/10)=3/10*10/9=3/9=1/3

>im a 200-iq genius
Clearly not, if you honestly believe that nonsense is a "proof" despite the trivial errors it contains.

>>5880017
This is very hard to understand. Could you post it in jsmath?

>>5875552
This thread is about 0.3334. Please discuss that number somewhere else.

>>5875552
that number doesn't exist, show me a fraction that produces it, you can't because there isn't one

>>5882745
Not that guy, but I think;

99999.../999999....+1
should do the trick?

>>5882745
1/1

I'll take my trophy now pls

>>5883117
That's a fraction. OP asked for a decimal representation.

>>5884131
OP asked for a decimal. There is a decimal inside of that fraction.

...

>>5884813
Decimals are constructed to represent a number without fractions.

>>5886284
It simplifies to .3 anyway

>>5886284

A decimal is just a fraction of a power of ten.

>>5877646

Do you?

.333...

>>5886290
Please show me how.

>>5886297
No, that's not what a decimal is.

>>5867452
.1 in base 3.

>>5875366
I feel bad for your autism.

Write to moot@4chan.org if you want it to stop.

>>5886308
You should first read the thread and refrain from posting already debunked answers.

>>5888740
Why did you omit the 0? It should be 0.1

>>5885380
I have never seen three decimal points alone like that before. What does it mean?

>>5891315
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsis

It's often used as a rhetorical device.

16 hour bump difference for idiocy

i love highschool kids

>>5892988
This is very helpful, thank you.

>>5873172
It was a reference to Pythagoras' absolute rejection of irrational numbers. Pythagoras, who also happens to be listed on the wikipedia page for rationalism along with several other ancient greek philosophers.

>>5893804
>Pythagoras' absolute rejection of irrational numbers

Why did he reject them?

It's a simple infinite geometric sum you plebs.

>>5895758
It is not a geometric sum.

>>5894892
They are not rational.

>>5897924
What is p?

>>5899359
It is the momentum.

>>5899831
How can it be measured?

>>5901033
By opening the momentum box.

>>5867513
C/2r

>>5901858
That sounds dangerous.
