What is the value of Pi (π) rounded to two decimal places?
Answer: 3.14. The number Pi (π) is approximately 3.14159… Rounded to two decimal places, it is 3.14. It represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.
What does the symbol ∞ mean in mathematics?
Answer: Infinity. The symbol ∞ represents infinity in mathematics. Introduced by the mathematician John Wallis in 1655, it expresses a concept with no limit or upper bound.
What is the smallest perfect number?
Answer: 6. The smallest perfect number is 6, because the sum of its proper divisors (1 + 2 + 3) equals the number itself. The next one is 28 (1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = 28).
What is 2 to the power of 10 (2¹⁰)?
Answer: 1024. 2 to the power of 10 (2¹⁰) equals 1024. This number is very important in computing because computers work in base 2 (binary). That is why 1 kilobyte traditionally equalled 1,024 bytes.
