pi is irrational so there can be no fraction that is equivalent. 22/7 is often used as a simple approximation.
Fractional representations of irrational numbers won't be accurate. Many people have used 355/113 as a close approximation.
Think of pi as infinity. It never ends. You might mean "3.14" as an approximation of pi, though.

Pi is an indiscriminated boolean hypothinator, so it cannot be given a truely incomponential denominator. Therefore, as 1/2 = 2/4, Pi = 7/62626Pi That is pure gobbledygook. Since the questioner speaks of approximations, I presume (s)he knows pi is irrational. There is no closest fraction to an irrational number. No matter what fraction you pick, there is a closer one. Fractional approximations to pi are usually (not always) given as a decimal, so what makes sense to ask is what is the closest approximation to pi to a given number of decimals (digits after the decimal point). For example, the closest approximation to pi to 4 decimals is 3.1416.

Nope - Pi is an infinite number. The fractional equivalent is 22/7 which can never be a whole number.
3.14 is the commonly used approximation
The approximation of Pi is 22/7 and the most used form is 3.1416 (rounded up). To 30 decimal places, pi is : 3.14159 26535 89793 23846 26433 83279
22/7=3.14286 Which is a fair approximation to Pi, but 355/113 =3.14159 and is a much better approximation.
22/7 is the older fraction approximation. 355/113 is a newer fraction. Notice it uses easy to remember numbers 113355. Neither one is exact because Pi is an irrational number. That means it can not be expressed as a fraction or a repeating decimal.
