Pi is. at its simplest. the ratio between the diameter and circumference of a circle.The ratio circumstance: diameter = 3.14159265359... : 1

which is easily expressed as circumstance/diameter =3.14159265359...


An early approximation of Pi was 22/7 (again a ratio). For most applications this is accurate enough


There is another answer to "what id Pi really". In mathematical formulae Pi is as a constant. That is, whenever it is used in a mathematical expression its value is always he same.
