No, pi is not a whole number.
Pi (π) is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It is approximately equal to 3.14159.
Here's why pi is not a whole number:
- Definition of Whole Numbers: Whole numbers are non-negative integers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...). They do not include fractions, decimals, or negative numbers.
- Pi's Decimal Representation: Pi has a non-terminating and non-repeating decimal representation. This means the decimal part goes on infinitely without any repeating pattern. Since it has a decimal portion, it cannot be a whole number.
While 3 is the closest whole number to pi, pi itself is an irrational number and therefore not a whole number.
