Abstract
The {\it largest angle bisection} procedure is the operation which partitions a given triangle, , into two smaller triangles by constructing the angle bisector of the largest angle of . Applying the procedure to each of these two triangles produces a partition of into four smaller triangles. Continuing in this manner, after iterations, the initial triangle is divided into small triangles. We prove that as approaches infinity, the diameters of all these triangles tend to , the smallest angle of all these triangles is bounded away from , and that, with the exception of being an isosceles right triangle, the number of dissimilar triangles is unbounded.
