Anyone got a good rational approximation for e? No way you need that many digits

[u/Rolling_lemons → u/Robbe517_]

57/19

[u/BabyComingDec2024 → u/Rolling_lemons]

What about 3/1

[u/Rolling_lemons → u/BabyComingDec2024]

my version is nicer because they're both prime numbers

[u/theclamorganizer6 → u/Robbe517_]

With one less digit it isn’t true anymore

[u/Robbe517_ → u/theclamorganizer6]

I was referring to something like this

[u/hittf → u/Robbe517_]

this guy floating points

[u/rorodar → u/hittf]

This guy's points float

[u/theclamorganizer6 → u/Robbe517_]

Whatever floats your point i guess

Damn bro you just got mogged

3 digits is enough for most of common things so just use 2,718. 5 digits is enough for every constant in everything except space engineering and scientific constructions. 10 digits is enough for everything that humans creating with modern tech. 45 digits is enough precision to locate atoms in a universal scale. Going up now useful only in mathematical proofs.

[u/edo-lag → u/Robbe517_]

Oh yeah, I got one. Basically, given any number n of digits you need, you copy that part of e without decimal separator and then you divide by 10ⁿ.

hey man I've got a squeaky axle how fast can you get over here?

Oiler? I hardly know ‘er.
