I need to learn the proof that 1/3 is not a decimal number for a test, so I wrote this proof. However, I’m not sure if I’m using the notations and symbols correctly, because I’m not yet familiar enough with them, and whether it is rigorous enough. Can someone please check it and tell me how I can improve it ? (the said proof is in latex so it's in the post)
#Could someone pls check if this proof is correct?

Use .unsolved if this was a mistake.
@hoary quarry Is the definition of D given to you? I would have defined it as the set of a*10^k with both a and k in Z, but it's not any more correct
(also I would've said the 10^k and 3 are coprime by the fundamental theorem of arithmetic but if you're told to use the divisibility rule, that's fine too)
Yeah, and in class the teacher showed us the divisibility proof so I used it
