look for ≈ on your calculator, try 22/7, the answer may surprise you

Man, calculators with fraction support weren’t all that common when I was in school.

Probably my favorite approximation of pi. With four symbols, you have like 18 digits.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Now imagine having a calculator with symbolic math support and the ability to solve derivatives and integrals with unknown variables. And I took that shit into the SAT because the TI nspire CX CAS was allowed. (Apparently that changed just this year holy moly)

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

355/113 is my favorite

355/113 is my favorite
Using 7 chars to represent 8. Now that's efficiency!

The efficiency is that it is easy to remember 11 33 55
If you want efficiency, just remember the number and cut the operation.

This post is how I learned they exist.

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....

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.

Nowhere did he state that the 18 digits would be correct

Check your settings
Reboot the calculator too

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
