first things first: pi is the relationship between the circumference and the diameter, which is a constant approx 3.14.
The method used to find pi is by "drawing" a polygon inside of the circle
polygon: poly = many and gon = edge
if you imagine a hexagon drawn inside of a circle, the calculations of pi would be adding the length of the 6 sides and dividing it with the diameter, and that would be pi, not very accurate though.
You can do this because the circle is basically a polygon with an infinite number of edges, but you can't really draw/calculate on a polygon with an infinite number of edges, instead they get some kind of a super computer to calculate the total length of the sides in a 674859302*-gon divided by the diameter, and in that way giving a very accurate version of pi. But doing the same thing with a 674859303-gon would make an even more accurate version of pi, with even more decimals. So no matter how many egdes you use you can never reach infinite, and that's why there's always room for improvement addition of more decimals.
(I guess they just calculate the total length of all sides with the given diameter of 1, in that way they don't need to divide)

How is pi used today?
pi is used in many different formulas. Formula for circumference, Area of a circle, and as we all know, pi is an endless decimal but technically is not repeating
How far can pi go so far?
pi is endless! Edit: The value of Pi has so far been calculated to more than two million places.
Why do you celebrate Pi day?
We celebrate pi day because pi equals 3.14........ which is an endless number. It's a fun math class to celebrate pi day on March 14th! Yum... Pie!
How many numbers total are in pi?
Pi is endless. Nobody can determine where the end is.
Can a person type all the numbers to pi?
No; pi is an endless number. You can type as many numbers you want of it, or calculate things for as many digits as you can handle/your calculator will let you type, but pi itself goes on forever.
What type of cumputer calcuted that lasted digits of pi?
actually pi is endless ,so no one has calculated the last digits yet , interestinly it isn't repeating either.. they have whole books on it, filled with the digits of pi.
What is the full number sequence of pi?
It is an irrational number; therefore the sequence is endless. The 'full number sequence' can never be known.
What is the most accurate fraction for pi?
Pi, being irrational, has an endless number of digits to the right of the decimal, as you know. But for almost any application, even basic engineering, a value of 3.1417 is highly accurate.
What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 5?
The formula for a circumference is 2 times Pi times Radius. A diameter is twice the Radius, so the circumference is Diameter times Pi. 5 times Pi (3.14159) is approximately 15.70795. Pi has an endless number of digits to the right of the decimal point, so the best we can do is approximate.
