It produces about 14 digits of π per term [133] and has been used for several record-setting π calculations, including the first to surpass 1 billion (10 9) digits in 1989 by the Chudnovsky brothers, 10 trillion (10 13) digits in 2011 by Alexander Yee and Shigeru Kondo, [134] and 100 trillion digits by Emma Haruka Iwao in 2022.

In August 2009, a Japanese supercomputer called the T2K Open Supercomputer more than doubled the previous record by calculating π to roughly 2.6 trillion digits in approximately 73 hours and 36 minutes. In December 2009, Fabrice Bellard used a home computer to compute 2.7 trillion decimal digits of π. Calculations were performed in base 2 ...
In 2004, Andrew Huang wrote a song that was a mnemonic for the first fifty digits of pi, titled "I am the first 50 digits of pi". [14] [15] The first line is: Man, I can’t - I shan’t! - formulate an anthem where the words comprise mnemonics, dreaded mnemonics for pi. In 2013, Huang extended the song to include the first 100 digits of pi ...
Pi Day is celebrated each year on March 14 because the date's numbers, 3-1-4 match the first three digits of pi, the never-ending mathematical number. "I love that it is so nerdy.
A sequence of six consecutive nines occurs in the decimal representation of the number pi (π), starting at the 762nd decimal place. [1] [2] It has become famous because of the mathematical coincidence, and because of the idea that one could memorize the digits of π up to that point, and then suggest that π is rational.
Celebrations took place on 3/14/15 at 9:26:53 a.m., the numerical date and time together representing the first 10 digits of pi, 3.141592653," according to History. The day, ...
The digits of pi extend into infinity, and pi is itself an irrational number, meaning it can’t be truly represented by an integer fraction (the one we often learn in school, 22/7, is not very ...
