Pi is a type of number called an irrational number. That means it cannot be written as a fraction. If we write the decimal representation of Pi, the first 4 numbers after the decimal are 1415 but it does continue on forever and there is no repeating patterns. The fact that is cannot be written as a fraction is equivalent to saying its decimal repesentation goes on forever. This is because if we COULD write it as a fractions, say by contradition the Pi is 3.14159 exactly (by contradiction means we know it is not) Then we could simply take this number and multiply the numerator and denominatory by 100000 and we would have a fraction, namely 314159/100000, but this means Pi is rational and it is not. THIS IS NOT a proof that pi is irrational. That proof is not too hard, but I will wait for someone to ask for it.
