22/7 is the most commonly used (non-decimal) fractional approximation of pi
Here is are some more precise approximations listed in order of precision
here is the 32 digit decimal approximation

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.
3.14 about 3 and 14/100
square root(pi) is about 1.77245385. It is not a rational number so this is just an approximation.
Pi is the circumference of a circle divided by the diameter of a circle. 3.14 is an approximation of Pi. It is not possible to display the value of Pi. (See the related questions.)
You can only express this exactly by leaving it as is: 22/7 times pi. If you want a decimal approximation, use an approximation of pi, for example. 3.1416, and do the calculation on a calculator.
That depends on how precise you want the 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.
3.14 is the commonly used approximation
22/7=3.14286 Which is a fair approximation to Pi, but 355/113 =3.14159 and is a much better approximation.
That's not a "mathematical principle", it is an approximation of the number pi.That's not a "mathematical principle", it is an approximation of the number pi.That's not a "mathematical principle", it is an approximation of the number pi.That's not a "mathematical principle", it is an approximation of the number pi.
It is: 22/7
That is an approximation of the number pi.
Yes. That's a decimal approximation of 1 over pi.
