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?

Sure. In a number system with a base of Pi, it is 1.
It wouldn’t be a very useful number system and you couldn’t convert it back to decimal in any way that doesn’t lead back to the same problem.
