I knew in base 3 that “10” is equal to “3” in base 10.
I just explained to you that .1 in base 3 is equal to .333… in base 10.
So if base 3 .1 is equal to base 10 .333… then having “.1” in base 3 means you have the base 10 33.333…%, which is NOT 1/3, in ANY BASE.
“10” in base 3 is just a decimal representation of the number 3 in base 10.
In base 3 you count, 1,2,10,11,12,20,21,22,100…
Yes, you knew it, and you got it. You got that 1/10 in base 3 is a non infinite decimal. And you get that 10 in base 3 means 3 in base 10, that they’re equivalent.
So you get it! You get that you can divide by 3 without getting an infinite decimal! I love to see it, congratulations.
1 apple in base 3 is exactly the same as 1 apple in base 10. lly 1 divided by 3. “10” in base 3 literally means 3. That’s how bases work.
You also knew when you said it that it meant that. You knew that 10, in base 3, is the same as the quantity of letters in the following quote: “EEE”. Right? You knew that when you said it

Flannel.
There’s a difference between thinking in a base and discussing base conversion.
I hope you both can appreciate that.
Dude, one more time:
Base 3 is 1/10
Base 10 is 1/3
BOTH bases that division results in the base 10 equivalent of 33.333…%
I stopped arguing this issue with MD when he said that you can’t divide a whole into 3 parts because then it wouldn’t be a whole.
One more time:
1.0 dozen eggs divided by 3 means each part is .333… Dozen
12 Eggs divided by 3 means each part is 4 eggs.
4 eggs x 3 parts = 12 eggs
.333… Dozen x 3 parts = .999… Dozen
That 12 eggs can be divided equally into 3 parts and 1 dozen can’t be divided equally is because when you divide 1 by 3 you always have a remainder of 1 that can not be divided equally, so the division can’t be completed.
Since the division is never completed the remainder is not part of the .999…, so it can’t total 1.0 Dozen.
It is no different than dividing 100 pennies by 3 people and stopping at 33 for each person (totaling 99 pennies) and not including that 1 remaining penny. So the total is 99, not 100.
No - it doesn’t mean that.
It means that each part is 1/3 of dozen.
Do you agree 1 dozen divided by 4 means .25 dozen for each part, and .25 x 4 = 1.0?
Are you fucking kidding me MD?
12 divides into 3 equally in base 10.
That’s the worst argument you’ve made this whole thread.
It’s literally insane.
It’s 4 eggs.
If you picked anything besides three for a dozen, it may have actually been an interesting discussion.
I agree that a dozen divided by 4 is 1/4 dozen.
And also that 1/4 = 0.25
My man MD is an expert troll. I know for a fact that he gets all of this. He gets that base 10 is just arbitrary, and that division produces non infinite decimals in other bases. He’s literally said straight up that he gets it!
He’s been keeping up this trolling for months, maybe years. Expert. I’m impressed
Since you give a decimal equivalent of 1/4 = .25, what do you think the decimal equivalent of 1/3 is? 1/3 = ?
Let’s do a list and you fill in the blank, K?
1/2 = .5
1/4 = .25
1/5 = .20
1/8 = .125
1/3 = ??
Well.
Divided by 4 equals 3 whole eggs.
Divided by three equals 4 whole eggs.
At a certain point, it feels like teaching a second grader basic addition.
Make it interesting.
Talk about a dozen being divided into 5 equal parts.
For you to call the messenger of truth a “troll” is laughable.
Let’s look at the 100 pennies and 3 people scenario:
When everyone has 33 pennies, what is the total of the 3 people’s pennies, and how many pennies remain to be divided?
Now you’re getting back to the point —
1/3 = 1/3 — and not 0.333…
1/3 = 12/4
1/3 = 24/8
1/3 = 90/30
1/3 is one of those very many values that has no exact decimal representation - similar to pi in that regard.
…and what’s even funnier is that one guy thinks that 20.875 seconds after 12:00 is the same time as 20.8 seconds after 12:00, it’s just that 20.875 seconds is more precise. LOL
Yeah, 1:00 PM is the same time as 1:30, it’s just that 1:30 is more precise! ROTFLMAO
Are you really that dishonest? You see the list of decimal equivalent of fractions, right? What do you think the decimal equivalent of 1/3 is?
Messenger of truth? Lmfao the truth of base 10 supremacy haha. You’re too funny.
Moron,
12/4 = 3.0
24/8 = 3.0
90/30 = 3.0
Do you know the difference between 3.0 and .333…??
Whooops, you forgot to answer the question.
Do you agree that if the 3 people each have 33 pennies that 33 x 3 = 99 and there is a remainder of 1 penny not included in the 33 x 3 = 99? Do you agree that (3 x 33) + 1 = 100??
