1/7 = 0.\142857\ + h

If we multiply both sides by 7, we get
1 = 0.\999999\ + 7h

So,

1 = 0.\99999\ + 7h

and earlier

1 = 0.\99999\ + h

Subtracting,

0 = 6h
============================
  h/7  < h  and see lemma 1 (which you agreed was fine), h cannot
be divided by 7 before multiplying by 6.


What are you talking about?
Who is trying to divide h by 7?
Not me. I multiplied it by 7.

Face it, Johnny, your theory of a smallest real number
greater than zero leads to contradictions.
Either h = 0 or 7 = 6.
Your little h is zero.
