I'm not familiar with either of your terms "aparmey number" or "parimey symbel". 22/7 is a rational number because it is the ratio of two integers, 22 and 7. However p is an irrational number. Compare them: Look at 22/7 22/7 = 3.1428571428571428571428571428571428571428571428571428571428571428571428571428571428571428571428571428571428571428... Notice that it repeats the block of digits "142857" over and over. Rational numbers if divided out either terminate or they repeat a block of digits forever. Now look at p p = 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679821480865132... It doesn't repeat any block of digits forever. Both those long decimals round to 3.142. Ppeople who don't need to be more accurate that the thousandths place can use 22/7. But machinists have to be more accurate than that, so they can't use 22/7 for p. Edwin
