y = ∑x Second Answer: Actually it's X=Y/Z whereas X = the number of angels who can sit on the head of the pin, Y = the area of the head of the pin and Z = the area of the angels butts.
Infinitely more than those that can dance on the head of a pin. However, if you mean angles, the answer is 6.
There will be some angels dancing on the left side of the pin head and other angels on the right side! So you can call the first lot left sided angels and the second lot right sided angels. And then there may be some that are dancing directly above the pin head and these could be called the central angels.
The question about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin was important because it explored the nature of infinity and whether or not the divine was subject to the finite rules humans were. Descartes answered the question in a typical skeptical manner with "it depends". He states that it might be infinite because angels don't occupy space or none because angels have no physical body and cannot dance.
A circle does not have any angles but can be thought of the limiting value of an n-gon as n goes to infinity, "How many angels a circle has" seems to be a variation of a long-standing philosophical question of "how many angels can stand on the head of a pin?" and this question does not yet have a definitive answer.
There is no where in any bible version where you will find that story.
It is frequently asked, "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" The "pin" that is referred to is a dressmaker pin. This common pin is usually about 1 inch long with a round or flat head about 1/8 inch in diameter. It is used for pinning two or more pieces of fabric together before the fabric is sewn together with a needle and thread. Of course, the pins can be used to pin together paper, leather (if the leather is thin enough to push a pin through it), etc.

Infinitely many.
The idea of fitting angels on the head of a needle is a figurative expression referring to a theological debate. It is not meant to be taken literally. It was a topic of discussion among medieval theologians regarding the nature of angels and their ability to occupy physical space.
