A circle's circumference is the product of Pi and its diameter, so a diameter can go around a circumference approximately 3.14 times.

Given a diameter d, the circumference of a circle is Pi*d. Thus the circumference is Pi times larger than the diameter.
A wheel is in the shape of a circle. The formula for the circumference of a circle is 2πr where r is the radius. But, the diameter of a circle is twice the radius so this equation can be written, Circumference = πd where d is the diameter. The Circumference is therefore π times as big as the diameter, π = 3.142 or 22/7 approx.
The diameter of a circle can be divided into the circumference of a circle pi times. The number pi is about 3.14 in decimal form. Because pi is an irrational number, it cannot be written as a fraction of integers or as a terminal or repeating decimal. The circumference of a circle is said to be pi times the diameter, so by dividing the diameter into the circumference, we would get pi as a quotient.
