Pi is a very finite number. It's representation in any radix system is infinite. Since pi was discovered, we have never been able to express this number exactly in any number system. Other numbers that cannot be expressed exactly are e, sqrt(2) and any irrational number.
there is no posible countculator that can get an unround off answer but people are still counting using a super computer.
(pi) is not an finite number but using the fomular 2(pi)R we will will get a finite number.....
example 2.66666X100000=266666
pi, in mathematics, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. The symbol for pi is Ï. The ratio is the same for all circles and is approximately 3.1416. It is of great importance in mathematics not only in the measurement of the circle but also in more advanced mathematics in connection with such topics as continued fractions, logarithms of imaginary numbers, and periodic functions. Throughout the ages progressively more accurate values have been found for Ï; an early value was the Greek approximation 31/7, found by considering the circle as the limit of a series of regular polygons with an increasing number of sides inscribed in the circle. About the mid-19th cent. its value was figured to 707 decimal places and by the mid-20th cent. an electronic computer had calculated it to 100,000 digits. It would have taken a person working without error eight hours a day on a desk calculator 30,000 years to make this calculation; it took the computer eight hours. Although it has now been calculated to more than 200,000,000,000 digits, the exact value of Ï cannot be computed. It was shown by the German mathematician Johann Lambert in 1770 that Ï is irrational and by Ferdinand Lindemann in 1882 that Ï is transcendental; i.e., cannot be the root of any algebraic equation with rational coefficients. The important connection between Ï and e, the base of natural logarithms, was found by Leonhard Euler in the famous formula eiÏ=â1, where i=ââ1.
Because the Circumference of a Circle usually isn't a finite number. And the word you are looking for isn't "finite" it's "rational". A number can go on until eternity, but so long as it has a rational order, it can be approximated satisfactorily. Pi is irrational, as it has absolutely no discernable order, ever. However, if Pi is multiplied or squared, it is possible to get a number that can be approximated. E.g. 18.33333333... can be 18.34. That's why. Pi has no order.
2(pi)R which is the circumference of the circle is NOT a finite number unless R is equal to a number divided by pi like 4/3.1415... in which case the pi would cancel out leaving you with a finite number.

(pi)=3.141592654.....
(pi)=22/7
we can use 22/7 to get an answer

hmm that is my best answer to you my friend....

Round of a circle is not a finite number.
u r ur self saying that pi is not an absolute decimal, then how can
circumferance be........
there is no rule or axiom that circum..... is an absolute number.
even pi is not exactly equal to 22/7.hav u ever seen in any
standard book that pi has an exact value.
do u know how pi was found.
circles were drawn and its circumferance was found ( i think u
know how to find circum....... using geometrical methods)
and diameter was measured.their ratio in all cases was found to
be a constant APPROXIMATELY equal to 22/7.
value of pi is an ACCURATE APPROXIMATION.

But its not, when you calculate you still round off
