The number known as pi (Ï) has fascinated people for millenia. The digits to the right of its decimal point can keep going forever, and there is absolutely no pattern to these digits.
A team of researchers at Tokyo University in Japan calculated the digits of pi to 1.24 trillion places. Chances are, you'll never need to know even the first ten digits, but just for fun, here are the first thousand:
Ï = 3.

Pi is a number just like 2 is. Asking what pi is equal to is the same as asking what 2 is equal to.
Pi is the ratio between a circle's circumference and its diameter. It is approximately equal to 3.14159, but it is irrational and cannot be written as a single fraction.

The exact answer for what pi equals to is:

pi = In(-1) / Sqrt(-1)

This is not an approximation, it's exact.

The circumference of a circle divided by it's diameter.

22 / 7 is a good approximation.

It's about 3.14159 but the digits go on forever

It is very long. I'll try to get as many digits in as I can.
