Researchers have expended a great deal of effort computing as many of those digits as computer technology and mathematical methods allow. Last year PI was calculater to 206,158,430,000 decimal digits.

The mathematical constant PI is the number you get when you divide a circle’s circumference by its diameter. It can't be expressed exactly as a ratio of whole numbers. Starting with 3.14159265358979323846. . ., the decimal digits of PI go on forever. Statistically, the digits appear to behave like a sequence of random numbers. Researchers have expended a great deal of effort computing as many of those digits as computer technology and mathematical methods allow. Last year PI was calculater to 206,158,430,000 decimal digits. |
