We can't write out every digit of Pi every time we use it, but we've got to represent it somehow. And you were probably taught that 22/7 was a great option. Well... it's an okay option. It's not bad, but it's not amazing.
355/113 is so close to the real value of Pi that you don't encounter a better approximation until you hit 52163/16604. #shorts

I think some of you are missing the point. If you were to list every rational approximation of pi in its simplest form (3/1, 13/4, 16/5, etc.) 355/113 is significantly better than the one before it (333/106) and a lot smaller than the next biggest approximation that is better 52163/16604. (That's right there is no fraction better than 355/113 in the 4 digit range) If you were to graph the numerators of these fractions, there is a general trend, then a major anomaly at 355/113.

You are missing 7/2 and 10/3, btw. If we list just the denominators of successive best approximations, we get 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 57, 64, 71, 78, 85, 92, 99, 106, 113, 16604, 16717, 16830, .... Clearly 7 and 113 are outliers. Those are the most famous approximations of pi, 22/7 and 355/113. The next outlier is 104348/33215, though not as remarkable as 355/113. If you go further, 21053343141/6701487259 is excellent, with no better approximation with a denominator smaller than 286200632530. That's still not as exceptional as 355/113 though (in the sense that the ratio of denominators of successive best approximations is smaller). You would have to go past 10^18 before you found something similar.

FWIW, the continued fraction expansion of pi is [3; 7, 15, 1, 292, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 14, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 84, 2, 1, 1, 15, 3, 13, ...], so you can see the 15 and 292 stand out. These correspond to 22/7 and 355/113. The 20th convergent right before the 84 corresponds to the next best approximation above. The 433rd convergent, right before a 20776, must be spectacularly accurate.

The description mentions that "355/113 is so close to the real value of Pi that you don't encounter a better approximation until you hit 52163/16604" -- and that's the remarkable thing here about 355/113.

I've always figured the goal in school is not to calculate exact values, rather use the simplest approximation (but not too simple that it doesn't feel like it is "special" e.g. 3). Using 22/7 gives the school curriculum the opportunity to use multiples of 11 or 7 in practice problems to make calculations neat and simple. 113 on the other hand is a prime number so it can't have factors while its multiples will get too large (and often unnecessary given the goal is just to teach basic concepts)

The first 10^314 digits of pi, multiplied by 10^314, and divided by 10^314, gives an approssimation of pi precise up to the 10^314th digit. Isn't math amazing?

Yeah but you need 10^314 digits in the numerator to actually write that down. For this you only need 3 digits in the numerator and it gives you 7 digits of accuracy. It's something called the continued fraction expansion, it gives you the "best possible" approximation to any irrational number for a given size of denominator.

When I was in nuclear power school my Math instructor was an aeronautical engineer and he made the jokes about Pi being "about 3." One day he asks a question and the correct answer is 18, but I can't explain *why* it's 18. Mind you, I was pretty terrible in this class. So naturally he calls on me, and I said, "I don't know... It's about six times pi." The class erupted in laughter and he did that drop his head, frown and sigh, head-bob thing and said, "OK, I get it... I'll stop calling on you" And I was happy.

This can be very handy in certain circumstances. For example, to calculate Earth's orbital velocity: Earth is 150 million km from the sun, so in a year, it travels a distance of 2π*(150 million km) = 3π*10^8 km. Since a year is π*10^7 seconds, it must be moving at about 30 km/s. The real answer (averaged, because the orbit isn't a perfect circle) is 29.78 km/s, so that's _very_ close.
