Yes, yes the last thread I made was a train wreck. So I've decieded to make a another one, but with some rules:
1. Fraction must be A fraction (numerator and denominator must be whole numbers)
2. Fraction must be in simplest form
3. Fraction must not include any digits of pi in order (ex. 314159/100000)
Now since you guys are ranting about how I've been spamming with my replies and crap, I wont be replying to this thread. Just please try to stay on topic and try NOT to start up another argument. |

What's the point of this? What's the point of restriction 3? And you can't find a fraction that is "equal" to pi.
A really basic fraction is 22/7. If you want the biggest fraction, well that would violate restriction 3, unless you just double numerator and denominator, but that defeats the point again. |

@Ban I don't think get how this works. Take a look at my example. It is in simplest form and it doesn't violate any rules. The point of rule 3 is to allow us to be more creative with out answers.

Ok, ok guys I just have to reply once in this thread:
@ComedicGesture according to wolfram alfa, 21991148575128552669234 is not prime and can be simplified. |

Oh shoot you're right but the way you checked it is completely bogus. You should be checking whether it can be simplified by dividing by 7^21.
2199114857512855266923/700000000000000000000 cannot be simplified i think so i guess i win

"biggest fraction equal to pi" > fraction last I checked pi is irrational

he meant the biggest fraction approximately equal to pi

"approximately equal to pi" is a relative term and can never actually be achieved since pi goes on forever
if you mean approximately equal to pi to the 100th digit then that would make sense...if not then it's impossible to do what OP asked unless you just say pi/1

| It actually is possible to get math.pi doing this because it's not irrational to begin with (doubles don't have infinite precision) |

Ok, ok guys I just have to reply twice in this thread:
@4 above posts, you've broken all 3 rules with math.pi! |

explain what you mean by that I don't even understand why this was posted since it's impossible to get an approximate fraction to an irrational number, since it goes on forever
using pi/1 wouldn't be approximate which doesn't make this any more possible

@cnt "math.pi" unless talking in programming, no one interprets that any other way
if you went to a math teacher and asked them the most approximate fraction to "math.pi", they would be like what the hell are you talking about
I didn't misinterpret anything

Yes, you did misinterpret it. "doubles don't have infinite precision"

I don't understand what I misinterpreted. I understood what you said just fine, even though it doesn't pertain to the OP. OP never said anything about using math.pi for this, and you just randomly brought it in...
can you explain why?

@skello I'm suprised you're having this much trouble with such a simple concept. An approximation just means it's close. If you search up 1 million digits of pi you know it's more likely than not they miscalculated at least one of those digits? And yet it doesn't matter because if it's the 145,372th digit, it really has no implications in our modern society. No one has ever used pi to that level of precision. For that reason, if someone says approximate pi, 3.14 is usually and apt number because by adding the rest of pi (an infinite series of number beginning in 1) the end result of your calculation will not be affected significantly.
For that reason, me giving a very accurate approximation for 15 digits of pi is perfectly fine and is approximately equal to pi. If it still bothers you, my calculation is +/- 0.0000000000000005.

it doesn't matter how close your approximation is to pi, OP never said to bring it down to the 145,372nd digit, or the 15th digit, they asked for the biggest fraction EQUAL to pi, which is impossible
