Why request "continue for infinity"? There are no computer that has infinity memory so that request will simply not be possible. A practical limit "continue as long as possible" could make more sense. --[[User:Jofur|<Jofur>]] 11:02, 26 March 2011 (UTC) |

Indeed. Infinity here means until the limits of the computer are reached. (So on a system that uses 32 bit registers, calculations would probably cease after 4294967295 digits, unless big numbering was used.) |
