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
