1 is the "limit" that the infinite series you mentioned "approaches." The series never reaches that limit.
When you speak of the condition "in infinity" it is important to remember there is no such place. Infinity never becomes a quantity in any place. It is best to consider which are and which are not quantities. Infinity is better understood as an "ongoing process" than a quantity.
While the assumption of a quantity is not particularly hazardous in this specific instance, it is generally wise to avoid algebraic manipulations involving expressions that are not quantities.
Since the use of digital calculators became commonplace it is not unusual to find endeavors that "equate" any digital representative with more accurate notation arbitrarily. Casio has some interesting and inexpensive calculators that can use various modes of expressions.
