By “pie,” are you referring to pi? The number approximately equal to 3.1415926535897932384626? In mathematics, pi is an example of an irrational number (a number whose decimal digits go on forever with no repeating pattern; and cannot be represented as a fraction of integers). Thus, pi is a number in mathematics that has absolutely no last digit.
