One can define an infinite number of fractions to successively approximate pi, and get closer and closer to pi's value. There is no closest fraction to pi. No matter how close the fraction is to pi you can always find one that is closer.
There is no such fraction. It is a transcendental number and so has a decimal representation that is infinite in length. So each additional decimal digit gives an equivalent fraction that is closer to pi than the previous one.Thus 31/10 = 3.1 is closer than 3314/100 = 3.14 is closer3141/1000 = 3.141 is closer stilland so on.There is no such fraction.

Pi is usually described as either a decimal or a fraction in as simple terms as possible. pi is simplified as 3.14 or 22/7. A "closer" answer to pi can be worked out to millions of places to the right of the decimal by computers, but it is academic, as no "absolute value" for pi can ever be reached. For practical purposes - even in precise fields such as engineering - a value for pi of 3.1417 is considered more than adequate.
The equivalency of Pi in a fraction is 22/7.
pi is an irrational number and so there is no equivalent fraction.
