If you dividing an integer by any other integer, in this case 7, by definition you get a rational number. You may get a repeating decimal if you choose to represent the answer as a decimal, but n/7 is a rational number for any rational number n. Irrational numbers by definition cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers.Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207550747227359267.post-27597080302401427972010-05-24T16:45:11.084-04:002010-05-24T16:45:11.084-04:00The fact that you’re thinking about this for fun, ...The fact that you’re thinking about this for fun, somehow reminds me of the Barbie doll that says, “Math class is tough.”Latashahttp://www.dissectingwords.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207550747227359267.post-25887109984019039912010-05-21T19:33:01.965-04:002010-05-21T19:33:01.965-04:00In my experiments (mostly test 1) I have found tha...In my <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/214884/sevenisawesome.html" rel="nofollow">experiments</a> (mostly test 1) I have found that this is not always the case.<br /><br />(9/7)/9 is not equal to (6/7)/6 and some other cases (marked red).
