How about just 0 and 1? They didn't specify what base.

Could also say pi is just 10 in base π

What's 9 in base pi?

would all integers necessarily be irrational in base π?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Except for 0, 1, 2, 3.

Integers are necessarily irrational because π is transcendental and not an algebraic number.

how are you defining irrational? the definition i know is not base dependent.
