    Do you, though? Pi starts 3.141592, but 7/22 starts 3.142857, already wrong by the 4th digit.

        Decided to try this by hand just for the fun of it. I stopped at twelve decimal points because it seems to just go on in a loop forever and I can't do this all day. 2.571428571428....

        Yeah, n/7 does that. It's a loop of 142857, and changing the numerator shifts where in the loop it starts.

        They also go in a pattern where the 'loop' starts with the Nth largest number in the sequence. So:

        1/7= .142857 repeat
        2/7= .285714....
        3/7= .428571...
        4/7= .571428...
        5/7= .714285...
        6/7=.857142...

          but there's a more important math question,

          with heavy and deep philosophical implications...

          What's

          9 + 10

                    like 18 digits

                    The simile stands.

                      Actually it makes sense to calculate "analytically" (symbolically) as long as possible and only after that doesn't help anymore, go to "numerical" calculations.
