So, I decided to mess around with some basic math today. Nothing fancy, just wanted to see if I could still do some simple division. I picked the numbers 2, 3, and 6. The idea was: 2 plus 3, and then divide that result by 6. Basic stuff, right?
First, I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen. Old school, I know, but sometimes it’s just easier to visualize things that way. I wrote down “2 + 3”. I mean, come on, that’s 5. Even my grandma knows that!
Step-by-Step Breakdown
- Added 2 and 3. Result: 5.
- Then, I took that 5 and wrote down “5 / 6”.
Now, 5 divided by 6… that’s not a whole number. I knew it was going to be a fraction or a decimal. And, yeah, it’s a repeating decimal. My calculator spit out 0.8333333… you get the idea, the 3s go on forever.
I double-checked it online, just to be sure I wasn’t going crazy. Yep, same answer. 0.83333… Seems simple. I played around a few times and realized that’s all it is.
So, that was my little math adventure for the day. Not exactly rocket science, but it was a fun little refresher. It just goes show, something is really easy to get if you really try!
