Write 2.158 radians in terms of Pi

In summary, 2.158 radians can be written as .687pi by dividing it by 3.1415926535 and multiplying it by pi. This allows the answer to be expressed in terms of pi instead of 2.158.

Hello, can someone show me how 2.158 radians can also be written as .687pi? I need to learn how to do this so I can write my answer in terms of pi as opposed to 2.158.

Thank you in advance.

It's just a change in scale. \(\displaystyle 2.158 \text{ rad } = \frac{ 2.158 \text{ rad } \pi }{ \pi} = \frac{2.158 \text{ rad }}{3.1415926535} \cdot \pi \approx 0.687 \pi \text{ rad }\)
