    Re: Pi to that whatever digit

    it doesn't come out to a decimel ever, but isn't it equivalent to 22/7?

    Are you trying to say Pi is equal to 22/7? It's definately not!!!

    22/7 is just an approximation, which is only equal to pi in the first three digits...:

    22/7 = 3.142857...
    Pi = 3.141593...

    355/113 is a far more accurate approximation than 22/7.

    Also, you can let VB6 compute the following: PI = 4 * Atn(1) and get it accurate to 14 decimal places.
