    1/3 is not finitely representable. That means there's not enough paper in the world to write down 1/3 exactly using decimal expression.

    1/3 does not equal 33.33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333%
    On a given day or given circumstance, you think you have a limit.
    And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit and you think "Ok, this is the limit".
    As soon as you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further.
    With your mind power, your determination, your instinct and the experience as well, you can fly very high.

    It's called a Non-terminating Decimal. (1÷3=0.3333333 bla, bla, bla ad infinitum)
    Try 5÷11

    So represent it as 100/3 and be done. There is no need to resolve the equation unless you choose to.

    You&#39;re missing the point, you can&#39;t correctly represent 1/3 as a decimal. Just like you can&#39;t correctly represent pi
    On a given day or given circumstance, you think you have a limit.
    And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit and you think &quot;Ok, this is the limit&quot;.
    As soon as you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further.
