1. What is π × a/b Calculation?

This calculator computes the product of π (pi) and a fraction a/b, showing the step-by-step solution. It's useful in mathematics, physics, and engineering where circular or periodic phenomena are involved.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ \pi \times \frac{a}{b} = \frac{\pi \times a}{b} \]

Where:

\( \pi \) — Mathematical constant pi (≈3.141593)
\( a \) — Numerator (unitless)
\( b \) — Denominator (unitless, cannot be zero)

Explanation: The calculation first multiplies π by the numerator, then divides by the denominator, showing each step of the process.

3. Importance of π in Calculations

Details: Pi (π) is fundamental in calculations involving circles, waves, and periodic phenomena. Combining π with fractions is common in trigonometry, geometry, and physics equations.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter any real numbers for numerator and denominator (denominator cannot be zero). The calculator will show the result and detailed steps of the calculation.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is π important in this calculation?
A: π relates a circle's circumference to its diameter and appears in many fundamental mathematical and physical relationships.

Q2: What if my denominator is zero?
A: Division by zero is undefined. The calculator requires a non-zero denominator.

Q3: How precise is the π value used?
A: The calculator uses PHP's built-in pi() function which provides π to about 14 decimal places.

Q4: Can I use negative numbers?
A: Yes, both numerator and denominator can be negative (but denominator cannot be zero).

Q5: What are practical applications of π × a/b?
A: Calculating arc lengths, angular frequencies, phase shifts, and many physics formulas involving circular motion.
