Why Pi is not a Rational Number?
Why Pi is not a Rational Number?
While Pi can be Written is 22/7.
First Look at some rational Numbers
Example: 1.5 is rational, because it can be written as the ratio 3/2
Example: 7 is rational, because it can be written as the ratio 7/1
Example 0.333... (3 repeating) is also rational, because it can be written as the ratio 1/3
But some numbers cannot be written as a ratio of two integers ... they are called irrational numbers.
π (Pi) is a famous irrational number:
π = 3.1415926535897932384626433832795... (and more)
We cannot write down a simple fraction that equals Pi.
The popular approximation of 22/7 = 3.1428571428571... is close but not accurate.
