Hence there is an end, even if you cannot see it. > > 1/0 is NOT a unit fraction damn it! wow. Wrong end. WM is talking about a SMALLEST unit fraction s with: 0 < s < ... 1/1. Of couse, there is no smallest unit fractions. If s is a unit fraction then 1/(1/s + 1) is a smaller one. 1/0 would be the LARGEST unit fraction, if it were a unit fraction. :-) Actually, the largst unit fraction is 1/1 = 1.
