    Nothing, his calculator does not understand true infinity.
    The "anomaly" will will only show up if the repeating number is broken.
    The square root of 0.111... is 0.333... forever, to infinity.

    But the square root of
    0.11111111111111111111111111111111111111110_
    is actually
    0.333333333333333333333333333333333333333316666666666249999
    it just simply is.

    I argue that if any number greater than zero is divided by zero, the result should be infinity, since the numerator can be divided into infinite portions of zero

    the solution is undefined or NaN because 1/0 cannot be infinity and there is a very good reason...

    any number multiplied by 0 == 0 ... infinity times zero is still zero, not 1.

    which means division by zero would be irreversible, so it can't be done.

  10. Think of a number, divide it by two
    Something is nothing, nothing is nothing
    Open a box, tear off the lid
    Then think of a number, don't think of an answer
    Open your eyes, think of a number
    Don't get swept under, a number's a number
    A chance encounter you want to avoid the inevitable
    So you do, oh yes you do the impossible
    Now you ain't got a number, you just want to rhumba
    And there ain't no way you're gonna go under
    Go under, go under, go under, go under
    You tell me asunder
    Go under, go under, go under, yeah

    Not to mention it violates other rules, from a more physics-based standpoint. Dividing by zero would be the equivalent of destroying energy/mass in such a setting. Doesn't make sense whatsoever.

    the pattern the OP is seeing the result of the approximation of 1/9 being off by


    ∑ 10^-n
    n=k+1

    where k is the number of decimal places in the approximation.

    so ..... what you have is actually

    1 ∞
    − - ∑ 10^0-n
    9 n=k+1

    if you take the square root of that entire expression it approximates the first expression. add them together and you should get 1/9 proper.
