Quote:TBBQ: 22/7 is NOT accurate pi...it's just the closest simple representation of pi. Using 22/7 quickly becomes inaccurate.

22/7 would not ever represent PI.

Rationale: pi is an "irrational" number. Therefore it could never be represented as a fraction. But hey, this is computers. :*)
Many decimals if you evaluate this with QB or C:

PI = 4 - 4/3 + 4/5 - 4/7 + 4/9 - 4/11 + 4/13 - 4/15 + 4/17 - 4/19 + ...
(Note: approximation).
