I don't want to come off as combative, but I would argue that a correction would add quite a bit to the post. What you have is straight-up incorrect and wouldn't even take that much effort to fix. "For a computer to store the decimal representation a number that repeats forever would require an infinite amount of memory, so the number is approximated" would be correct and it's just a couple words more.

Agreed.

I agree. This is a small change that makes the statement true.
