  1. Pi in only infinite in that there are an infinite number of decimal olaces in its representation that does not repeat...otherwise it is simply an irrational constant..


  2. mathmatics can't explain it neither could they explain if their is an infinate amount of numbers between 0 and 1 how do we get to 1

  3. Pi has an infinite number of decimal places - this is quite different from being "infinity"

  4. Pi is an irrational number, which means that it cannot be expressed as a fraction m/n, where m and n are integers. Consequently its decimal representation never ends or repeats. Beyond being irrational, it is a transcendental number, which means that no finite sequence of algebraic operations on integers (powers, roots, sums, etc.) could ever produce it. Throughout the history of mathematics, much effort has been made to determine π more accurately and understand its nature; fascination with the number has even carried over into culture at large.

    it has an infinite numbers after the decimal not its value


  5. It has infinite decimals, meaning it so far has no end.

    Further more that makes it impossible to write as a fraction, thus it is irrational.

    To Red F:

    Between whole numbers, yes there are infinite rational and irrational numbers(mostly irrational). However, in math, most people use whole numbers, or in other words, 1,2,3,4 etc.

    Integers would include negatives.

    In the end, to get from 0 to 1, we would just count. 0, then 1.

    If you did count the decimals, then wouldn't you be counting infinitely small pieces of just one whole?

    In measurement, we wouldn't need anymore than probably 16 decimal places. In fact, I think the amount of decimal places for pi needed to measure an atom is like 16.

  6. pi isn't infinite.

    It's a constant.

    Its decimal representation is infinite.
