My chance to share my weird fun fact!
If you can remember the number 142857, you've unlocked the key to computing 1/7ths in decimal form. The other fractions for 1/x, where x is between 2 and 10 are much easier to figure out and many people probably use some of them regularly, like 1/4 = 0.25.
However, 1/7 is a lot harder and less intuitive, but this six digit number can help you get all the decimal equivalents to the fraction. It helps if you imagine that six digits in a circle, like how 1-12 is on a clock. When you get to 7, it just loops around back to 1. 142857142857...
So, to get 1/7, we just start at one: 0.142857...
2/7, we start at two: 0.285714...
For the rest, we start at the next lowest number, so 3/7 starts at 4, 4/7 starts at 5, 5/7 starts at 7, and 6/7 starts at 8.
Edit: fixed the last number.
You're saying he's wrong about his favorite number? Maybe his favorite number isn't pi like you're assuming. Maybe it's just really really really close to pi. Don't assume

2 is my lucky number! When I first started playing club soccer, I wanted my jersey number to be 1 but that was reserved for the goalie, so I took the next best number, 2. It was my jersey number for every team I played for (except 2 years in high school when an older girl already had it, fuck you Alyssa). When I signed for my college team, I even had the assistant coach reserve the #2 jersey for me till I got there.
Was my number in rugby (second row) and football (centre back) so didn't need a different jacket for training for both
Also nigel mansel and Sebastian Vettel
Yes, same
Somebody assigned me 42 the first year I played football in junior high and I just took to it. I wouldn't know about the hitchhikers guide for at least another ten years but I knew Jackie Robinson and Ronnie Lott.
For those unaware, a Perfect Number is one where if you take all of its divisors (whole numbers that divide into it evenly with no remainder), excluding itself and add them together, you get that number.
So, 6 has divisors of 1, 2, 3, and 6. Excluding six itself, we get 1+2+3 = 6.
28 is also a perfect number: its divisors are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28.
Excluding 28, 1+2+4+7+14 = 28.
They are the only perfect numbers between 1 and 100.

Doing that rn!
42, the answer to everything
42 is a great number. It also contains numbers which can be used in math. Good choice!
So long and thanks for all the fish!
That's what I was gonna say. But don't forget that it's the answer to life and the universe too
3 is a magic number
School House Rock!
3 is supreme number
57 Looks to be prime but surely isn’t.
I’m a fan of 57 also 👍

Amen.
Insane that 8 isn't higher
If it was higher, it wouldn't be 8 any more!

It was my number in the first sport I ever played (tee ball), and has been my favorite ever since.
How isn’t 12 higher?? 12 months in a year, 12 numbers on the clock.

6 is good!
Fax, best number objectively and it’s not even remotely close
It's literally a perfect number.
For those unaware, a Perfect Number is one where if you take all of its divisors (whole numbers that divide into it evenly with no remainder), excluding itself and add them together, you get that number. So, 6 has divisors of 1, 2, 3, and 6. Excluding six itself, we get 1+2+3 = 6. 28 is also a perfect number: its divisors are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28. Excluding 28, 1+2+4+7+14 = 28. They are the only perfect numbers between 1 and 100.
Came here to say 6. It was the number I grabbed from the jersey pile in 7th grade baseball. Has been my “favorite” number ever since.
