Proceeded Compounding of interest

If an annual interest rate compounds semi-annual, then it should be compounded twice a year. If an annual interest rate compounds quarterly, then it should be compounded 4 times per year. If an annual interest rate compounds monthly, then it should be compounded 12 times per year. If an annual interest rate compounds daily, then it should be compounded 365 times per year. And if the compounding period becomes smaller, then the number of compoundings per year, m, becomes larger. In the limit as m goes to infinity, period interest, i, approaches zero.
