Best Answer

Pi is not just extremely long, it's infinite. The ratio of circumference to diameter of a circle in fractional form is 22/7 . Dividing a prime or a multiple of a prime (x), by the prime (y) will always be infinite. So dividing 22 (a multiple of 11 which is a prime) by 7 (a prime) is infinite.

What is the number equivalent to the value of pi?

All numbers are unique and so there is no other number equal to pi. Pi is not a rational number so there is no fraction that is equal to pi. It has an infinitely long non-recurring decimal representation so there is no way to write a decimal eqiuvalent either.

How long does pi last?

'pi' is an IRRATIONAL number. This means that the decimals go to infinity (never end) ,and there is no regular order in the decimal digits. Super duper computers have calculated 'pi' to at least 50,000,000,000 ( 50 billion) places and still goimng. In school/college , when given pi = 3.14 , 3.1416, 3.141592.. 22/7 These values are only APPROXIMATIONS. Irrational means that it CANNOT be converted to a ratio(fraction) . pi should be written as 3.141592... The three dots inidicate that it goes to infinity. How long does 'pi' last? It last for ever; it infinite. For school/college work use 3.14 or 22/7 For more technical scientific work use 3.1416.
