Dear All


Mr King.

[...]
Any positive real number (except one) is a unique production of prime
numbers with each prime raised to a non-zero integer and therefore of
unique decimal representation


Factorisation is good.

Hence, the irrational numbers are all those numbers that have endless
decimal digital expansion in any number system, provided that their
terminating digits are not all zero


Why?

From this you can see now why (0.999...) is an irrational number even we
don't know its prime factorization and therefor can't be equal to one

[...]


I'm not sure what this is, but it's not a sound proof.
