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
The first written evidence that has been found of people finding the value of pi is in an Egyptian papyrus and Babylonian tablets about 1900 BC, however, some historians believe that the ratio of the perimeter to height of pyramids built in Egypt as early as 2613 - 2589 BC suggests that Egyptians already had made approximations of the value of pi at that time.
