Why Do Some Numbers Never End?

Some numbers never end because they just keep going and going, like a never-ending story! Imagine you’re counting cookies in a jar, if the jar has exactly 10 cookies, that’s easy. But if it has π cookies, you’ll be counting forever because it never ends!

Examples

  1. A pizza that has exactly π slices, you’ll never finish counting them!
  2. The number of steps it takes to walk around a circular lake, it goes on forever!
  3. A jar that holds √2 candies, you can’t count them all!
