Best Answer

3.142 are only the first three digits of Pi. It is an irrational number and goes on infinitely.

It is one of the fundamentals of the universe in which we live. There does not seem to be a 'why' for such things.

What fraction is closest calculated to pi?

pi is an irrational number and so has an infinitely long, non-recurring decimal representation. So given any fraction, it is possible to get a nearer fraction by adding another decimal digit.For example, consider the sequence: 3 = 3/1 3.1 = 31/10 3.14 = 314/100 3.142 = 3142/1000 3.1416 = 31416/10000 Each fraction is closer than the one above but this sequence never ends.
