> Note that 4/3 in binary is This is consistent with the notion from Jarrosson, because that means that 4/3 can be represented as 1 + 1/4 + 1/16 + 1/64 + 1/256 + 1/1024 ...
which is a sum of fractions with unitary numerator - the representation ancient Egyptians are said to absolutely prefer.The approximated ratio of the circumference to its diameter can be represented by four iterations ( (4/3)^4 ) of infinite series of sums of fractions with unitary numerator. |

Well, they can also represent it as 1 + 1/3.. It's just that I assumed they have an easier time dividing by two than dividing by three.
If you leave it as a fraction, instead of dividing your integers, 1/3 is fine.
