Why is pi 22 divided 7?

Value of Pi (π) in Fractions
The pi value in fraction is 22/7. It is known that pi is an irrational number which means that the digits after the decimal point are never-ending and being a non-terminating value. Therefore, 22/7 is used for everyday calculations.

Why is 22 7 and pi different?

The value of PI is 3.1415926 or 22/7 but the answer of 22/7 is 3.142857… Why? Pi is NOT the same as 22/7. Pi is an “irrational” number, which means it cannot be represented as a ratio of 2 integers.

Why is the fraction 22 7 not equal to pi?

22/7 is a rational number. All rational numbers can be expressed as a fraction whose denominator is non zero. Whereas, pi cannot be expressed in the fraction of two integers and has no accurate decimal value, so pi is an irrational number. Was this answer helpful?

Who gave value of pi as 22 7?

Archimedes performed an exact calculation of circumference and diameter. Therefore, he could approximate Pi (π) to be between the fraction 223/71 and fraction 22/7. The fraction 22/7 has certainly been the most famous approximation of Pi (π) ever since.

How do you prove that pi is 22 7?

If one knows that π is approximately 3.14159, then it trivially follows that π < 227, which is approximately 3.142857. But it takes much less work to show that π < 227 by the method used in this proof than to show that π is approximately 3.14159.

Why Pi 22/7



Who invented zero in world?

"Zero and its operation are first defined by [Hindu astronomer and mathematician] Brahmagupta in 628," said Gobets. He developed a symbol for zero: a dot underneath numbers.

Is 22 7 and pi are same?

In the past, many math books listed Pi as 22/7. Again, this is just an approximation but it is better than the value of 3 (actually 22/7 is closer to Pi than just writing 3.14). The early history of mathematics covers many approximations of the value of Pi.

How was pi originally calculated?

The ancient Babylonians calculated the area of a circle by taking 3 times the square of its radius, which gave a value of pi = 3. One Babylonian tablet (ca. 1900–1680 BC) indicates a value of 3.125 for π, which is a closer approximation.

Why is pi invented?

pi, in mathematics, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. The symbol π was devised by British mathematician William Jones in 1706 to represent the ratio and was later popularized by Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler.

How did aryabhata calculate pi?

More than 4700 years ago, the famous Indian mathematician and astronomer Aryabhatta (b. 2765 BC) gave 62832/20000 = 31416/10000 = 3.1416 as an approximation of π [21]. He calculated π by measuring the diameter of the circle in a remainderless unit and then measuring the circumference in the same unit.

Is pi an infinite?

Pi is a number that relates a circle's circumference to its diameter. Pi is an irrational number, which means that it is a real number that cannot be expressed by a simple fraction. That's because pi is what mathematicians call an "infinite decimal" — after the decimal point, the digits go on forever and ever.

Why pi is used in area of circle?

In geometry, the area enclosed by a circle of radius r is πr2. Here the Greek letter π represents the constant ratio of the circumference of any circle to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159.

How did Archimedes calculate pi?

Archimedes' method finds an approximation of pi by determining the length of the perimeter of a polygon inscribed within a circle (which is less than the circumference of the circle) and the perimeter of a polygon circumscribed outside a circle (which is greater than the circumference).

How is pi used in real life?

In basic mathematics, Pi is used to find area and circumference of a circle. You might not use it yourself every day, but Pi is used in most calculations for building and construction, quantum physics, communications, music theory, medical procedures, air travel, and space flight, to name a few.

How do you memorize pi?

When you want to recall pi, picture a large slice of pie. It's sitting in the branches of a tree, and it's cherry pie with red cherry filling. Because the pie is in a tree, and tree rhymes with three, you'll know the first digit is three.

Who invented 1?

Hindu-Arabic numerals, set of 10 symbols—1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0—that represent numbers in the decimal number system. They originated in India in the 6th or 7th century and were introduced to Europe through the writings of Middle Eastern mathematicians, especially al-Khwarizmi and al-Kindi, about the 12th century.
