Technically, the top and bottom lines on classical math approach 1 and 0, like limits.

As far as I'm aware, there's actually no consensus on what's technically correct.

Some will argue that they don't approach these values, because you're not saying lim x from 0 to ∞, where x is the number of '9'-digits. Instead, you're saying that the number of digits is already infinite right now.
