I know there are proofs on this but I’m not great at math, can someone dumb it down for me?

3 and 10 are relatively prime. It is impossible to perfectly represent 1/3 as a base 10 decimal.

As I understand it, there is a number system called the surreal numbers where 0.99999… and 1 are different numbers.
