It’s just a fun game to talk about for people who enjoy math kind of like 4/20 is marijuana day because 4/20 is a police call sign for pot
If you take any number and divide it by 0.50, the calculation will never end.
Please elaborate. 1/.5=2 done.
10/.5=20 full stop.
Well it’s a division problem with no end doing it once. You don’t keep dividing it like you .5 example. The circumference divided by the diameter of any circle will result in this number that only ends with your patience to keep working the math. AND it’s one of the most useful constants in the world. Anybody doing anything where they’re making circles needs pi, there’s no way to know how much tile to buy without pi. Your car is running 2 different calculations with pi every time you make it move (your speedometer and odometer are both calculated on 2 pi R).
So it’s a pretty cool number.
It is because pi is what is called a transcendent number. That is a number that cannot be expressed as a standard number or root of a number. Another example is e.
