π is considered a mathematical constant.This is achieved based the mathematical equation C/d where C is the circumference and d is the diameter.This ratio is constant, regardless of the size of the circle.
π was formally calculated around 250 B.C. by the Greek mathematician Archimedes. In fact, π is sometimes referred to as “Archimedes constant.”
