It's like holding a mirror up to another mirror... how many images of the mirror are produced as a result? As many as you can see? As many as you feel like counting? Or, is it something which can't be defined because it technically goes on forever?

Something that goes on infinitely (not FOREVER) can be defined if it goes on infinitely in a PREDICTABLE manner. 1/3 is such a phenomena. There are an infinite number of 3's as remainders. You add them all together and you get 1/3.
 
A fraction is actually TWO numbers, a numerator and denominator. A fraction has no value, it is a representation of value. How much coffee would you like? 1/3! I want 1/3 of coffee! Does that tell you how much coffee? 1/3 of WHAT? A Cup? A Pot? A Gallon? You see, my pinheads, the fraction 1/3 has no value, it represents value OF something else.

Only decimals are actually numbers. We have reached a new level of stupidity.

There are only 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who can understand binary, and those who can't.

because it continues on for eternity.

Infinity. Not eternity. Eternity is an infinite amount of time, it is not equal to the concept of infinity itself.

Since we do not have the time to calculate to eternity,

It doesn't take eternity. This has been mathematically proven for hundreds of years, dixie.

we assume that all three thirds contain the same amount, relative to each other, and one of the thirds assumes the remainder, as insignificant as it is.

No matter how many times you divide it out, you're not going to get an nth number different than three. You don't have to manually do this infinite times to know this. The value is defined. You are completely and totally wrong in assuming that any sort of equation involving infinite takes an infinite amount of time to calculate precisely.

I don't know of any way to dumb this down more for you, I can't make the remainder not be there! I wish I could, Damo... I wish I could say that 1÷3=0.333333333334 and that's all she wrote! If 0.333333333334 x 3=1, then we'd have something... but it doesn't! I can't make it equal 1, just because you need for it to! Again, I wish I could help you, Damo, but math is math.

Dixie, what did you make in differential equations? I'm just wondering, you being a math genius and all, going up against me, an engineering major, and damo, a math major. Surely you understand all of this better than we do.
 
No one has argued that 12 divided by 3 isn't 4! I never claimed any such crazy-assed thing! This is a PRIME example of what happens in a pinhead mind, when they read something I post! You just hear shit that isn't there! I can't explain it, never seen anything like it before in my life.... this is a really simple thing... ONE can not be divided into 3 parts, without producing a REMAINDER! Now, I don't give a flying fuck if we post 50,000 more threads about this, or 50,000 more pinheads line up to chuckle at me over my intellect... you STILL won't be able to divide ONE into THREE parts, without producing a REMAINDER! Because MATH is MATH! It CAN'T be ARGUED!

Yes it can be. Mathematicians argue over math all the time.
 
Again, this is what I ax'd you: split one dollar equally among three people so that they each have the equal amount of money.

There's no such thing as a 1/3 penny, so are you suggesting that you cut it into thirds? That would make it worthless as money. So apparently you gave me the answer on how to split 99 cents into three equal parts.

And you have the gall to call me a moron. :)

Again, cents are represented integerically. Not valid.
 
It seems to be, certain pinheads here, want to misconstrue what has been said, and pretend that I have made some bizarre claim that isn't supported by mathematics. All I have ever posted, is that 1 divided by 3, produces a remainder, and thus, can not be absolutely equal.

Yes it can be.

We presume absolute equality because we have to,

We do not presume, we know.

in order to make math work and move on with our lives. The remainder is simply calculated and divided to a point that it is no longer relative,

No. That's not how we do it.

it doesn't matter that one of the three thirds assumes it's value, it doesn't make a discernible difference to the value of each third, and we can presume them equal.

It's actually, literally equal. If you did not use exactly 1/3 in a lot of occasions, what you are trying to do would come crashing down.

Such is the case in the ruler example, our 'criteria' for the thirds is a unit of measure known as inches, each piece has 4 inches, of the 12 inch ruler... we presume equal thirds. There is no guarantee the actual molecular volumes of the three thirds are the same,

The number of molecules in the ruler could be indivisible by two, or five, or four etc... etc.... as well. Three is not alone in this regard. Your example is, again, invalid. Molecules are not a hyppereal quantity. They are an integeric quantity. Sometimes they can't be divided equally. On the hyperreal numberline, everything can be represented equally.

we aren't defining 'equal' to that degree, only by the printed ruler marks on the wooden ruler. The same can be done for cakes and pies.

You're an idiot.

this is actually one of my favorites...

1) He claims a fraction is two numbers
2) He claims a fraction has no value
3) he doesn't see the stupidity in his coffee example

No. That's not how we do it.

This is so much more fun when our resident engineers and math majors come to play with ditzie.

I can't do justice to the level you can make him look foolish.

Damn economics and finance degrees.
