    Your way of thinking makes sense but you’re interpreting it wrong.

    If you can round up and say “0,9_ = 1” , then why can’t you round down and repeat until “0 = 1”? The thing is, there’s no rounding up, the 0,0…1 that you’re adding is infinitely small (inexistent).

    It looks a lot less unintuitive if you use fractions:

    1/3 = 0.3_

    0.3_ * 3 = 0.9_

    0.9_ = 3/3 = 1
