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.
