"Not as a decimal or fraction as there are an infinite number of digits."
This is a common and useful answer.
The *correct* answer is that PI is firstly an irrational number that cannot be calculated from any ratio (fraction).
Secondly, PI is a transcendental number that, by the definition of "transcendental", cannot be exactly calculated.
The nest you can do is to apply an infinite convergent series that becomes more and more accurate with more and more decimal places.

Who were the first people known tofind a value for Pi?
No one has ever found the exact value of pi because it is an irrational number that can't be expressed as a fraction and its value has been calculated to more than two trillion digits yet still not found exactly.
Which Indian mathematician calculated value of the pi?
aryabhata
What scientist calculated the value of pi?
Lots of people did this; the accuracy increased over time.
What is the exact value of tan pie over 3?
tan(pi/3)= sqrt(3)
What is the example of truncation error?
Suppose you want to calculate the area of a circle with a radius of 10 cm.If you use pi = 3.14 the area will be calculated as 314 cm^2if, instead, you use pi = 3.145159, the area will be 314.5159 cm^2if you use pi, as used by Excel on my computer, you will get 314.159265358979 cm^2.If you use the most accurate value of pi (currently around 10 trillion digits) you will get a more accurate value of the area.The difference between the calculated value and the true value is the truncation value.
Can you find the circumference of a circle using the exact value for pi?
No, because pi has no exact value, it is neverending. You can get close by using 3.14, but never will you get it exactly right. Up to date, about 4 trillion digits have been calculated.
Exact value of pi to 10 decimal places?
3.1415926536 is to 10 places but not exact. The only exact value of pi is pi itself. So any exact answer involving pi would include pi in the answer.
How can you calculate the exact value of pi?
22 divided by 7 * * * * * That is an APPROXIMATE value of pi. The exact value cannot be calculated since pi is a transcendental number - a special kind of irrational number. It has an infinite decimal representation with no recurring pattern. That would be true in any base - binary, octal, or another base (other than pi itself, or a power of pi).
Could you find the circumference of a circle using the exact value for pi?
Yes, you could if you knew the exact value for pi as well as the diameter of the circle. Multiply the diameter by the exact value for pi to get the circumference. However, it is impossible because the exact value for pi is not known. It is only known to about a trillion decimal places, but the exact value is not known.
Who calculated the value of pi?
Archimedes
What value of pi did the Egyptians calculate?
The Egyptians calculated pi to be 3.16.
What is the exact history of mathematical pi?
The circumference of any circle when divided by its diameter has the exact value of pi
Who calculated the value of pi as 3.1416?
aryabhatta.
What is the rounded exact value of pi?
3.1428
What are some famous mathematical problems pi?
If the value of pi is the circumference of any circle divided by its diameter then what is the true exact value of pi? Why is it that the exact area of a circle can never be found?
Who were the first people known tofind a value for Pi?
No one has ever found the exact value of pi because it is an irrational number that can't be expressed as a fraction and its value has been calculated to more than two trillion digits yet still not found exactly.
What was the value of pi obtained by the babylo nians?
They gave it a value of about 3 but even today we do not know the exact value of pi
