How to show result in terms of $\pi$ in Mathcad?

Question

Is it possible to display a result in Mathcad as a function of $\pi$?

I'm studying physics and I need to show exact results at the exams. I know I can set Mathcad to give me the result in decimals or in fractions, but none of them are good enough.

Example: calculating 400/200 $\pi$

What mathcad can give me: $(400/200) \cdot \pi = 6.283$ or $(400/200) \cdot \pi = 10838702/1725033 $

What I want: $(400/200) \cdot \pi = 2 \pi$

Answer 1

If you want to see results as an expression of something else, then put that at the end of the result (in this case, after 6.283). In that way you can express results in different units or if you want to see it in PIs, then inset a pi symbol (p and alt+g) at the end. If the result is not shown properly, then highlight pi and set it as a constant. In that way it will turn green and the result will be accurate.

Answer 2

Solution (found by the OP): one can use "CTRL + ." instead of " = " in Mathcad. That gives the desired form of result.
