Take the value of pi which is 3.1415...... (never ending)

Take the value of 1/3 which is 0.3333333..... (never ending)

Take the value of 2/3 which is 0.6666666..... (never ending)

In these cases, depending on the accuracy we are content with, we will take the value only to a certain number of decimals which gives an approximate value and definitely not the accurate value. In many cases we cannot use the accurate value and an approximation will suffice.

Thus, depending on the accuracy or precision we need, we can approximate the value of pi to be 3.14, the value of 1/3 to be 0.3, and the value of 2/3 to be 0.66
