    What’s 9 in base pi?

    • MBM@lemmings.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      9 (the base 10 number) is apparently roughly 22.2021120021 in base pi. 9 (the base pi number) doesn’t exist because all digits must be less than pi.

        Technically they didn’t specify what number their use of the symbol ‘9’ represents!!!

      would all integers necessarily be irrational in base π?

        Except for 0, 1, 2, 3.

        Integers are necessarily irrational because π is transcendental and not an algebraic number.
