approximation problem

56 Views Asked by At

We know that 30/3=10, therefore 30/3 could be written as 10×3/3=3.333.....×3=9.9999........ Which is approximately equal to 10 but not exactly 10. Why this kind of approximation errors happen ?

Actually, 10 and 9.99999... are exactly the same number. This is the issue of the non-uniqueness of decimal representation of numbers.
