    The number π (/ p aɪ /; spelled out as "pi") is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159. The number π appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics.

  3. May 17, 1999 · Succinctly, piwhich is written as the Greek letter for p, or π—is the ratio of the circumference of any circle to the diameter of that circle. Regardless of the circle's size, this ratio will...

  4. The Greek letter π (pi) is a geometric constant approximately equal to 3.1416. Its value is equal to the length of any circle's circumference divided by its diameter.

  5. Pi (π) is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. The value of pi is 3.14159..., an irrational number. Pi is a constant value. That is, the ratio of the circumference to the diameter is the same for all circles.

  6. Mar 8, 2022 · By definition, pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. In other words, pi equals the circumference divided by the diameter (π = c/d).
