Even those that do not particularly care for math will agree that pi, or “π," is fascinating. The numerical constant — defined as the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter— is recognized by most as 3.14. However, Pi is an irrational number. This means it can't be written as a fraction. Instead, it is infinitely long and never forms a repeating pattern. While individuals attempt to break records by memorizing pi's decimal points, scientists strive to find its most accurate value using new algorithms and powerful computers.

iheartpuppies약 3년Wow! That's just crazy!
karatehedgehog44년 이하Pi goes on forever without repeating!!
da_frog4년 이하cool
liv_20214년 이하Am I wrong to say that it’s a waste of time doing that because the true digit of pi is 22/7 or 3 1/7
porg136달you are correct- iheartpuppies약 3년Pi is not a fraction, so not trying to be rude, but yes you are wrong.
mermaidloverjck4년 이하The true number of pi is infinite, not 22/7 or 3.14 or 3 1/7. Those are only estimates, this is the closest humans have ever gotten to the true number of pi.

ilovanimals4년 이하Sheesh I don’t wanna do that lol
bigfoot2약 4년I like pi, because it goes on forever. Its mind-boggling. Pls follow me if you agree.
cia약 4년WOW. I wish I were that smart- bigfoot2약 4년I didn't know that the first 10 digits ofpi were figuered out in 2000 BC. That is so long ago; I can't rap my mind around it. :D
- bigfoot2약 4년This seems like a big competition to figure out the most numbers of pi.
