  • Think of it with fewer digits.
    If we have 0.999 and 0.111, then yeah, each 1 neatly complements each 9. But you have to consider that each of them result in a 1 the next digit upwards (as 09 + 01 = 10). So 0.999 + 0.111 equals 1.110. What you actually want here is 0.001, which just complements the last 9, which returns a 1 for the next 9, which returns a 1 for the next 9 and so on. 0.999 + 0.001 = 1.000. If you increase the digits, the zeros between the decimal point and the one increase too, causing the number to get smaller and smaller. If continue this infinitely long, the number becomes 0.

    0.999• + 0.000• = 1.000•
