The digits of pi do not repeat. 22/7 is an APPROXIMATE value. The first 10 digits are 3.1415926545.....
*added later* LOL at Garacaiu's answer below. Good play on a misspelling!

If the digits of pi (no e) repeated or terminated, then pi could then be written as a fraction; but it is mathematically provable that pi cannot be so written.
The approximations 22/7 and 3.14 approximate the value of pi to two decimal places. A better approximation is 3.1416. A less well-known approximation but more precise than you are ever likely to need is 355/113, which evaluates to approximately 3.1415929, but pi to this many places is 3.1415927. To fifty places, pi is a little less than
3.14159 26535 89793 23846 26433 83279 50288 41971 69399 37511
Pi has been calculated to over one million decimal places, not so much to verify that pi's digits never repeat as much as to being a test of computers' floating-point hardware. If there is a problem, it will definitely show up in such a calculation.

I find that the value of " pie " is highest as the last course of a meal. At dessert time. I like pineapple " pie " with a large glass of milk. Yummy - Yummy

First, the term is "pi". 22/7th is an approximation of 3.1428571.... That is rational, but pi is NOT rational. To 10 places, pi is 3.1415926536

Well, no, it hasn't yet. There are computer programs which have calculated pi past 1 million digits and it just keeps going.
3.1415...
