    If you want a rounded answer, press the rounded answer symbol. If you press the exact answer symbol, the calculator will give you an exact answer. It can't guess what you want, you have to tell it.

      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.
