What are examples of integers that halve their values when all 9's in their decimal representations are replaced with 0's?
Answer
Not the usual decimal representation, but...
1.9999999.... is double 1.00000...
I originally did not point this out as to not complicate the answer, but we can make as many examples as we want:
Just move the decimal point in the previous answer to the right:
19.999999.... is double 10.0000...
199.99999.... is double 100.000...
and so on.
