Is π is a rational number?

1.	Is π is a rational number?
Answer» No, is an irrational number. Reason: π is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the length of its diameter. The value of π is approximately equal to \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) but not exactly, i.e. π = 3.14159265… Here in the value of π, no sign of recurrence of the digits was found. Hence π is an irrational number. But if we will take the value of π exactly equal to \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) i.e. \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) = \(3.\bar { 142857 }\) then it is said to be rational.

Answer»

No, is an irrational number.

Reason: π is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the length of its diameter.

The value of π is approximately equal to \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) but not exactly,

i.e. π = 3.14159265…

Here in the value of π, no sign of recurrence of the digits was found.

Hence π is an irrational number.

But if we will take the value of π exactly equal to \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\)

i.e. \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) = \(3.\bar { 142857 }\) then it is said to be rational.
