so far you have had good answers to this question.... i have always thought of it as this..... if you have a square and place a circle inside of it exactly touching the four sides, pi is the number you use to figure out the arc missing from the corner ... wish i could draw a picture to help describe it...

22/7.
Go on, divide 22 by 7.

Pi (Ï) can be defined as the ratio of the diametre of a circle that is divided into its circumference.
Thus the value of Ï is a irrational number and it's valued at 3.141593.
One example is that if you divide 1 by Ï, you get .31831.
