    Huh… Where did you get “0.999… = 0.999…8” from? There’s a huge difference here.

        Think carefully

        What does 0.99…8 represent to you exactly

        If it’s an infinite amount of 9s then it can’t end in an 8 because there’s an infinite amount of 9s by definition so it’s not a real number
