Do numbers end?

The sequence of natural numbers never ends, and is infinite. OK, 1/3 is a finite number (it is not infinite). There's no reason why the 3s should ever stop: they repeat infinitely. So, when we see a number like "0.999..." (i.e. a decimal number with an infinite series of 9s), there is no end to the number of 9s.

Is infinite is a number?

Infinity is not a number, but if it were, it would be the largest number. Of course, such a largest number does not exist in a strict sense: if some number n n n were the largest number, then n + 1 n+1 n+1 would be even larger, leading to a contradiction. Hence infinity is a concept rather than a number.
