    More likely a mathematician would correct you instead of crying. Pi is not infinite, its decimal expansion is infinite!

    Easy. Take a wire that is exactly 1 meter long. Form a circle from the wire. The circumference of that circle is 1 meter.

    Who said Pi is infinite? If we take Pi as base unit, it is exactly 1. No fraction, perfectly round.

    Now everything else requires an infinite precision.

        1 is also a number, a number we chose by convention to be a base unit for all numbers. You can break down every number down to this unit.

        20 is 20 1s. 1.5 is 1 and a half 1.

        If we have Pi as a unit, circumference of a circle would be radius*2 of Pi units. But everything that doesn't involve Pi would be a fraction of Pi, e.g. a normal 1 is roughly 1/3 of Pi units, 314 is roughly 100 Pi units, etc. etc.
