How about just 0 and 1? They didn’t specify what base.

Could also say pi is just 10 in base π

What’s 9 in base pi?

deo@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 15 Feb 15:36 next collapse

would all integers necessarily be irrational in base π?

Mohamed@lemmy.ca on 15 Feb 16:48 collapse

Except for 0, 1, 2, 3.

Integers are necessarily irrational because π is transcendental and not an algebraic number.

zeca@lemmy.eco.br on 15 Feb 17:22 collapse

how are you defining irrational? the definition i know is not base dependent.

MBM@lemmings.world on 15 Feb 16:39 collapse

9 (the base pi number) doesn’t exist because all digits must be less than pi. 9 (the base 10 number) is apparently roughly 22.2021120021 in base pi.

Edit: a bit of explanation for that last one, it’s because 2π + 2 + 2/π + 2/π^3^ + 1/π^4^ ≈ 8.99

Technically they didn’t specify what number their use of the symbol ‘9’ represents!!!

sik0fewl@lemmy.ca on 15 Feb 17:16 collapse

They wanted to know how to represent 6, but displayed upside down.

If you wanted it spelled right, you should have talked to an englisher

Is the decimal point a digit, or a character?

lena@gregtech.eu on 15 Feb 15:04 collapse

A character

Hupf@feddit.org on 17 Feb 22:25 collapse

Must be - a digit would be beside the point here.
