– Can Pi be calculated in another numeral system (base?)

Question

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?

Answer 1

This is true regardless of your decimal system, because pi is an irrational number. It cannot be produced by dividing one integer by another. This property remains true regardless of your base.
