- sambeau 16y agoI was wondering the same thing as Google reports a fraction 1337 * (pi%) = 42.0030938 http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=1337+*+pi+%25 http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=...
- sambeau 16y agoHad I visited the link I would have seen a much longer fractional part.. http://www4b.wolframalpha.com/Calculate/MSP/MSP520319e206bcf84cd5450000146cb8h16f79i927?MSPStoreType=image/gif&s=29&w=496&h=642 http://www4b.wolframalpha.com/Calculate/MSP/MSP520319e206bcf...
- aralib 16y agoWell, it's not quite "fractional". I think we'd call it a decimal approximation. Pi is irrational (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_that_%CF%80_is_irrational http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_that_%CF%80_is_irrational).
