What's wrong with this?

Can you explain what you do at the

step?
>>
>>16789127
I took the result of the first summation and the second summation and subtracted them.
>>
>>16789121
kek, I know this is going to degenerate into a 1 vs. 0.999... thread really fast, but your hint is that if 1 - 0.1 = 0.9, why would 1 - [some larger number than 0.1] = [some larger number than 0.9]?

>>16789121
>1 - 0.111... = 0.999...
Proof?

>1 - 0.111... = 0.999...

That's wrong.

0.111... = 1/9
1 - 0.111... = 1 - 1/9
1 - 0.111... = 8/9 = 0.888...

Your computer will hang on the first step, the sum will never finish ans you will run out or memory

But I don't know how to subtract numbers. I was hoping OP could teach me.

From here :

I was just correcting kindly OP's question.
Perhaps he was mislead by some stupid troll like you.
