    No, it does not say integer. It says “all the sides being divisible by pi” aka “a ratio of pi”

      That is not what divisibility commonly refers to. In the normal context, one number is divisible by another if the division yields an integer. 4 is said to be divisible by 2 but not by 3.

      With your definition:

      • It would not make sense to say something is “perfectly” divisible. Duh, everything is divisible by everything except zero.

      • It would not be surprising that the length of the piramid is divisible by pi. Duh, everything is divisible by everything except zero.

      • The response to that statement would not need to mention circles at all. Duh, everything is divisible by everything except zero.
