I think you don't really understand what Pi and 3.14159265.... stand for
both of them are just different representations of the same objective existence of some certain information, like, simply the distance of some constant dot (dot "Pi") and dot "0" on the axis
it's just this piece of information will need infinite characters if you wanna represent it within the decimal system, BUT, it can be represented with finite characters by other systems, like "Pi"
like, 0.3333... (1/3) is an infinite decimal under the decimal system, but, it's just "0.1", 2 characters under the trinary system
if you're still confused, think about 15(dec) and 0xF

EDIT: corrected a calculation mistake
