Question

why is it that when i caulate 1225*3.14 it equals 3846 but if i have the pie symbol instead of the 3.14 it turns out to be different 1225*π=3848

Answer 1

See below ↓

Explanation:

When multiplying a number by 3.14, which is the simplified version of pi, it will give a constant term. But, when multiplying by π, the actual value is equal to 22/7, and it is a non-terminating decimal. Therefore, when you multiply any number with 3.14, it will be slightly lesser than when you multiply with π.

• 1225 x 3.14 = 3846.5
• 1225 x π = 3848.451

Answer 2

`\pi` is infinite. 3.14 only has three numbers.

Explanation:

so
`\pi` multiplied by any number (except 0) will have infinite numbers
