  • This is a short, animated visual proof showing the sum of the infinite geometric series with first term 6/7 and ratio 1/7, which in turn allows us to compute the sum of the series of powers of 1/7 and determine an interesting base 7 representation of 1.

      @@wyattstevens8574 No, it's like using a triangle to figure out a sum of 1/4^n (Which will become 1/3)
      Why ? You'll get 6 sides and a central piece that is a smaller version of the entire shape that is 1/7 of the area, making this visual proof possible

    So, polydivide (my preferred way of saying divide multiple times) by 2 and 3, then connect opposing trisectors and vertices, then connect the remaining trisectors with the midpoints, and then repeat the process with the middle triangle indefinitely, which will *precisely* give you [ *1* ]

    Depends on how accurate you really wanna be.
    I mean, if youre buying a car and youre a dime short, chances are you can still buy the car, but if youre trying to buy a soda and youre a dime short, chances are you wont be able to buy the soda.
    Does that mean that (price of a car-a dime)=price of a car?
    No, but in most cases, the dime is not as important as the rest of the price.

    I have heard this many times from very well educated sources but it is false, infinite means it goes on for ever and therefore consists of a constant repetition forever of the same process. Each process always leaves a small part unaccounted for, therefore an infinite process APPROACHES 1 but never reaches it. It does not equal 1, it approximately equals 1, that may sound small but its a very big difference when this incorrect proof is used in certain ways to state that it equals 1.
