When we look for approximate values for pi, we find 22/7, 3.14 or 3.1416 are offered in many cases.

An approximation could be carried out to as many decimal places as someone might wish to characterize it, but these three are used in almost all cases.

Pi on many calculators is set at 3.1415926535897 -- which means that 3.1416 is only off by a factor of 0.0002%.

If you use 22/7, you're only about 0.04% off.

3.142 is less than 0.02% off.
