Archimedes' number - the number of steps

…The value of this ratio is called pi, and is abbreviated as π, the abbreviation of the Greek word perimetros, which means circumference. In Western languages, there is no term that corresponds to pi, and it is simply called the number π, or Archimedes' number (in Germany, π is often called Rudolph's number). π is an irrational number, and its first 50 decimal places are 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510, but for practical calculations, 3.14 will suffice, and even for more precise calculations, 3.1416 will suffice. …
