Pi cubed = pi^3 = 31.00628 ~= 31 = 11111 (binary)

Did I miss a question, somewhere?

I just thought some people would like to know.

It might be interesting if Pi^3 were equal to 31

Using Pi=3.14159, I get a result close to that of the OP; (31.006198) Is that not right?

interesting.

math can now divide 1 by 3 and then get 1 by multiplying
by 3...

using binary.

1 as a whole represents 100

the binary number for 100 is 01100100

by dividing 01100100 by 3 we get 366700

by multiplying 366700 times 3 we get 01100100

then by converting 01100100 to decimal we get 100 or 1 again!!

this means that a calculator can be programed that uses binary
for compuations to avoid the problem that math has when
dividing certain numbers.

Isaac, you want to share with us the fact that Pi^3 is not equal to 11111 (binary)? Thanks for your input, but that's pretty unremarkable, don't you think?

And it might be very interesting if I had a frequent need to know PI^3. As it is, so what? Now just plain PI = 3.1415926 can come in handy.
