At around 1900 B.C., Egyptians estimated the value of pi to be 256 / 81 .
The ancient Egyptians approximated the value of pi (π) to be about 3.16. This estimation is derived from calculations based on the dimensions of their circular structures, such as the Great Pyramid of Giza. They used a formula that involved the circumference and diameter of circles, leading to this approximation, which is slightly less than the modern value of π (approximately 3.14).
There is no recorded single discoverer of the value of pi. Although, it has been recorded that the Egyptians were aware of pi.
The ancient Egyptians are believed to have used 22/7 which is 3.14285714...
The Egyptians and the Babylonians are the first cultures that discovered Pi about 4,000 years ago.
Exactly as it is today because the circumference of any circle divided by its diameter is and has always been equal to the value of pi. But the ancient Egyptians probably worked it out as 22/7 and rounded it to 3

22/7 or 3.142857...
The Egyptians calculated pi to be 3.16.
The approximate value of pi used by the ancient Egyptians was 3.16
Dear Ask. What value of PI did the babylonians obtain?

3.16 its right do not improve!!
The first to find the value in pi were the Babylonians and Egyptians.
