Write the interval as , where , to avoid confusing its left endpoint with the rotation parameter . For every sufficiently large integer , define an inner and outer interval on the circle byApply part (b) simultaneously to this countable collection of intervals. The intersection of the corresponding full-measure sets still has full Lebesgue measure, and is therefore dense in the circle.
Fix an arbitrary . For each sufficiently large , choose with circle distance less than from . An irrational circle rotation preserves this distance, so for every ,Averaging and using part (b) for givesLetting proves the everywhere interval frequency under an irrational rotation:
