I think what you're trying to ask is if 0.000...01 is equal to zero, and the answer is yes.
0.000...01 = 0
0.999.. = 1
1.000...01 = 1
0.57999... = 0.58
I wouldn't say i understand this, how can they be equivalent quantites if there's 0.0000...01 of a difference? Surely they are different quantities no matter how minute the difference?
