When Pi is calculated in decimal you get a never ending remainder. Is this simply a quirk of the decimal system that wouldn’t exist if we were born with 12 fingers instead of 10?
What would happen if your used hexadecimal or unidecimal to find the value of pi. Is there a way to find a theorical base system which would produce a whole number for pi. Like base 42, for example?

technically yes as long as it follows the same rule to calculate it(dividing a circles’s perimeter by its diameter), the end result should be the same, just expressed in its own system.
the exception is if you base your system off an irrational number(ie: Base pi) which has some issues regarding consistency as itself cannot be used as a solitary number
