minus-squareMBM@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up17·edit-22 months ago9 (the base pi number) doesn’t exist because all digits must be less than pi. 9 (the base 10 number) is apparently roughly 22.2021120021 in base pi. Edit: a bit of explanation for that last one, it’s because 2π + 2 + 2/π + 2/π3 + 1/π4 ≈ 8.99

minus-squareMohamed@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·2 months agoExcept for 0, 1, 2, 3. Integers are necessarily irrational because π is transcendental and not an algebraic number.
minus-squarezeca@lemmy.eco.brlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agohow are you defining irrational? the definition i know is not base dependent.

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