Since pi is irrational, there is (by definition) no way to express it as an exact fraction. Even so, many people write it as 22/7, which is a fairly accurate representation. But it is not exact!

Since pi can not be written exactly as a decimal or fraction, you have two options:1) Keep the answer as 42 pi, to have the exact value.2) Round the number pi to the desired precision, for example 3.14, or 3.1416, then carry out the multiplication.Since pi can not be written exactly as a decimal or fraction, you have two options:1) Keep the answer as 42 pi, to have the exact value.2) Round the number pi to the desired precision, for example 3.14, or 3.1416, then carry out the multiplication.Since pi can not be written exactly as a decimal or fraction, you have two options:1) Keep the answer as 42 pi, to have the exact value.2) Round the number pi to the desired precision, for example 3.14, or 3.1416, then carry out the multiplication.Since pi can not be written exactly as a decimal or fraction, you have two options:1) Keep the answer as 42 pi, to have the exact value.2) Round the number pi to the desired precision, for example 3.14, or 3.1416, then carry out the multiplication.
Pi is an irrational number, meaning that it cannot be written as the ratio of two integers (fractions such as 22/7 are commonly used to approximate pi; no common fraction (ratio of whole numbers) can be its exact value).
An irrational number cannot be written as a fraction or to an exact decimal such as the symbol for pi or the square root of two. A rational number can be written in the form of a fraction or a decimal to an exact value.

Since pi is an irrational number it is impossible to represent the exact quantity as a decimal; you can only give and approximate value. However, if you write a fraction that includes the symbol for pi, you are giving an exact quantity.
