The squaring of the circle
consists of finding a square
and a circle of the same
numerical order for their corresponding
area/area or circumference/perimeter.
Circumference of circle = 2 Radius
Area of circle = R
Perimeter of square = 4 x side measurement
Area of square = side measurement x side measurement

Radius of Circle
In order to translate the fundamental measures
between the side of a square and the radius
of a circle, one may employ the 56.41895836
as a multiplication factor. This is the same
radial number that is squared in the
procedure for computing the area of a circle
of unit one.

Radius of Circle
The square of the radius 56.41895836 of a circle whose
area is unit one (1.0) may be employed as a multiplication
constant between the side of any selected square
in order to obtain the radius of a corresponding circle
whose area is equal to that of the chosen square.

The ancients may have employed a distinct reckoning,
given the fact they appear to have avoided the fractions.
The 56.41895836 constant figure reminds us of the 567c
ancient Kemi count, which also appears to have been
the basis for the Nineveh count (2268c).
1.0 / .567 = 3.110526332
Hence, this reminds us of the ancient 31104 count
Thus, 3.1104 x .567 = .9999593856 (ca. Unit one)

Ancient Pi: 3.1104
3.1104 x .567 = .9999593856 (ca. Unit one)
From this computation, one may consider the use of
remainder math in order to compensate for the differences
in number.
755.7909764 x .567 = 428.5334836
428.5334836 x pi = 576925.0486 [Maya Long-Count 576c]
576925.0486 - 571220 = 5705.0486
