I don't know of that is the correct terminology but by this I mean in the way that $\phi$ can be put into the equation $(1+\sqrt 5)/2$. I have heard that it has never been achieved but I was wondering if there was anything to show that it was imposible. If so, would anyone mind providing links to studies, webpages, etc. Thanks!

1Sure. $\dfrac{\pi}{1}$ – JMoravitz May 01 '20 at 21:14

2If you mean in a form of an algebraic number, note that the transcendence of $p$ has been proven, so it's not algebraic. – John Omielan May 01 '20 at 21:14

1Maybe it depends on what you mean exactly, but what about $\frac\pi1$? If you’re wanting to write $\pi$ using some sequence of addition, multiplication, or roots of integers, then the answer is “No” because $\pi$ is transcendental. – Clayton May 01 '20 at 21:15

@Clayton thanks for you comment but I meant not as an obvious divisor, such as π/1, 2π/2 or 400π/20^2 – William Pennanti May 01 '20 at 21:18
