Pi is simply the answer to when you divide the diameter of a circle by its circumference. Pi is endless, and goes on forever, although Google cloud has calculated 31 billion digits of pi.

1. It means the difference between the two worlds that connect cheese and bread.

2. Pi is the Greek letter that stands for the relationship between the diameter of a circle, and the circumference of same. It's about 3.14159 and change.

In other words, the distance AROUND a circle is about three times the distance Across that same circle, to the (edge to edge through the center).

This ratio is CONSTANT, no matter how big the circle.

No one "Invented" Pi - it was "Discovered" because it had always been there.

pi is an irrational number meaning you can take decimals out to infinity and it never ends or repeats: 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974....

but it is often shortened to 3.14 to find the circumference of a circle.

Pi, denotedπ, is just a mathematical constant.A constant is just a variable, or symbol, that holds (or represents) a number.


It is approximately equal to 3.14, so it comes between 3 and 4 on the number line.


The number Pi represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to it'sdiameter. The proof for this is long, and beyond the scope of this question. Seeing the ratio visually though, might help.


Circumference (C) = 2πr, where r is the radius of a circle

Diameter of a circle (d) = 2r


Pi is the ratio of circumerference and diameter:

(2πr) / (2r) = π

3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197. Pi is an irrational number, which means it is not equal to the ratio of any two whole numbers.
