Archimedes determined that pi was between
31/7 = 3.1429
and
310/71 = 3.1408.
To four decimal places, the true value is 3.1416
The ratio of the circumference of a circle to its radius.
Archimedes made pi more precise
The babylonians first discovered the ratio compared to the diameter and circumference of a circle. Later, Archimedes(287-212BC) discovered and proved his theory of pi. Pi to 27 decimal places: 3.141592653589793238462643383 The square root of pi (to 30 decimal places) is: 1.772453850905516027298167483314

It is still being calculated. Supa-Dupa computers have calculated 'pi' to at least 50 billion places and still going. The ancients would have calculated 'pi' to at least 10 places. or more. estimates for pi are 3.14, 3.1416, 3.14159 or 22/7 They are all approximations. pi is an irrational number, which means it cannot be converted to a ratio/quotient. The Classical Greek mathematician , Archimedes, calculated 'pi' to a degrees of estimation.
