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.

iheartpuppies3년 이하Wow! That's just crazy!
karatehedgehog43년 이상Pi goes on forever without repeating!!
da_frog3년 이상cool
liv_20213년 이상Am 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
porg132달you are correct- iheartpuppies3년 이하Pi is not a fraction, so not trying to be rude, but yes you are wrong.
mermaidloverjck3년 이상The 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.

ilovanimals3년 이상Sheesh I don’t wanna do that lol
bigfoot23년 이상I like pi, because it goes on forever. Its mind-boggling. Pls follow me if you agree.
cia3년 이상WOW. I wish I were that smart- bigfoot23년 이상I 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
- bigfoot23년 이상This seems like a big competition to figure out the most numbers of pi.
