what is pi's longest calculated digit?

Question

Thx Fun Haver but I only needed how long it's been calculated I wish someone would give me a plain and simple answer

Answer 1

10 million digits have been calculated

starting with 3.141592

go to http://3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592.jp/
to get all of them =)

Answer 2

I have in in a text file to a million places, but only got it because it was free.

I know that it has been calculated out further than that, but I have a hard enough time punching in the million digits I alread have into my calculator.

Seriously, why anyone needs it past 12 decimal points is beyond me.

Ahhhh. what the heck. Here is it to 1000 decimal points. I do not want to put all million here becuase of space requirement, but if anyone really needs it out that far, let me know and I will mail them the entire text file.

Answer 3

***********************************

PI

In the Bible's description of Solomon's temple it comes out as three, Archimedes calculated it to the equivalent of 14 decimal places and today's super computers have defined it with an extraordinary degree of accuracy to its first 1.4 trillion digits. It is the longest number in nature and we only need its first 32 figures to calculate the size of the known universe within the accuracy of one proton.

This hasn't stopped people from trying to memorize as many digits of pi as they can. Contests to see who can rattle off the largest number of digits are one feature of National Pi Day, which is celebrated in math classrooms and schools on, naturally, March 14. The current record is about 42,000 digits!


We are talking about Pi, 3.14159 etc, the number which describes the ratio of a circle's diameter to its circumference. How has something so commonplace in nature been such a challenge for maths? And what does the oddly ubiquitous nature of Pi tell us about the hidden complexities of our world?

There is no need for computing π to millions or billions of digits in practical scientific or engineering work. A value of π to 40 digits would be more than enough to compute the circumference of a circle as large as the Milky Way galaxy to an error less than the size of a proton. There are certain scientific calculations that require intermediate calculations to be performed to significantly higher precision than required for the final results, but it is doubtful that anyone will ever need more than a few hundred digits of π for such purposes.[2] Nevertheless, the exact value of π has an infinite decimal expansion: its decimal expansion never ends and does not repeat, since π is an irrational number (and indeed, a transcendental number).

Answer 4

Millions or billions, but only as an exercise with no practical value whatsoever. Any more than a few dozen digits are all any conceivable use would require.
