355 divided by 113 is accurate for pi to 1 part in nearly 12 million.
You cannot get any closer until you go right up to whole numbers of 6 digits or more. 312689 / 99532 is accurate to better than 1 part in 100 billion.

If you are looking for an approximation to Pi, you can use 22 divided by 7. There are no two whole numbers you can use to give you the exact value of Pi. Pi is an irrational number, meaning that no such whole numbers exist.

There are no two whole numbers that when you divide one by the other you get pi. When you divide whole numbers you will always get a rational number, and pi is an irrational number. A good approximation is 22/7

Pi is an irrational number. But 22/7 and 355/113 are good approximations.

There is only one whole number, that is 6...
And the fraction 22/7 isn't PI.

22/7 = 3.414
Here, 22& 7 are whole numbers and by dividing we'll get 3.414 which is a pi number

Pi is an "irrational number".
The DEFINITION of an "irrational number" is that you can not divide any 2 whole numbers to obtain it.

You can't. Pi is an irrational number, meaning you cannot divide two whole numbers and get it.

22 and 7

355/113 is a lot closer than 22/7
355/113 is 3.14159292035
pi is 3.14159265359
that's only 0.00000026676 difference
using 22/7, you only get within:
0.00126448927
