displaystyle 0.999\ldots =9\left({\tfrac {1}{10}}\right)+9\left({\tfrac {1}{10}}\right) There is an elementary proof of the equation 0.999... = 1, which uses just the mathematical tools of comparison and addition of (finite) decimal numbers, without any reference to more advanced topics such as series, limits, formal construction of real numbers, etc. The proof, given below, [2] is a direct formalization of the intuitive fact that, if one draws 0.9, 0.99, 0.999, etc. on the number line there is no room left for placing a number between them and 1. The meaning of the notation 0.999... is the least point on the number line lying to the right of all of the numbers 0.9, 0.99, 0.999, etc. Because there is ultimately no room between 1 and these numbers, the point 1 must be this least point, and so 0.999... = 1.

Changing [1-9] after the decimal point in the second option to [0-9] allows 7.0 to be matched, where it previously would not If one places 0.9, 0.99, 0.999, etc. on the number line, one sees immediately that all these points are to the left of 1, and that they get closer and closer to 1. Elementary proof [ edit ] The Archimedean property: any point x before the finish line lies between two of the points P n {\displaystyle P_{n}} (inclusive). All of the following will match: 0, 1.1, 1.0, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 9.0, 9.1, 9.9, 10.0, but all of the following will not: 0.1, 0.2, 0.9, 1.11, 1.20, 1.01, 10.05, 110.05. Does not require one-number per line, can extract numbers embedded in text. But," you ask, "when you multiply by ten, that puts a zero at the end, doesn't it?" For finite expansions, certainly; but 0.999… is infinite. There is no "end" after which to put that alleged zero. But won't 0.999… always be a little bit smaller than 1?If you drop look-behinds, look-aheads and "environmentally friendly match-groups", you end up with something like: 0|([1-9]\.[0-9])|(10\.0)

This proof relies on the fact that zero is the only nonnegative number that is less than all inverses of integers, or equivalently that there is no number that is larger than every integer. This is the Archimedean property, that is verified for rational numbers and real numbers. Real numbers may be enlarged into number systems, such as hyperreal numbers, with infinitely small numbers ( infinitesimals) and infinitely large numbers ( infinite numbers). When using such systems, notation 0.999... is generally not used, as there is no smallest number that is no less than all 0.(9) n. (This is implied by the fact that 0.(9) n ≤ x< 1 implies 0.(9) n–1 ≤ 2 x – 1 < x< 1).

More generally, every nonzero terminating decimal has two equal representations (for example, 8.32 and 8.31999...), which is a property of all positional numeral system representations regardless of base. The utilitarian preference for the terminating decimal representation contributes to the misconception that it is the only representation. For this and other reasons—such as rigorous proofs relying on non-elementary techniques, properties, or disciplines—some people can find the equality sufficiently counterintuitive that they question or reject it. This has been the subject of several studies in mathematics education. is a look-behind that prevents us from ripping out pieces of number-literals in multi-line input, e.g. 10000010.0 should not be matched. (0|(?:[1-9]\.[0-9])|(?:10\.0)) But", some say, "there will always be a difference between 0.9999… and 1." Well, sort of. Yes, at any given stop, at any given stage of the expansion, for any given finite number of 9s, there will be a difference between 0.999…9 and 1. That is, if you do the subtraction, 1−0.999…9 will not equal zero. The same argument is also given by Richman (1999), who notes that skeptics may question whether x is cancellable– that is, whether it makes sense to subtract x from both sides. This says that 1−0.999… =0.000...= 0, and therefore that 1=0.999…. But aren't they really two different numbers?
