Pi is an irrational number, meaning it has an infinite number of non-repeating decimal places, and its value begins with 3.14159. The approximation of 3.14 is commonly used in calculations involving circles for simplicity. Historically, various cultures approximated pi using different methods, leading to its recognition as a fundamental constant in mathematics.
