This does not compute the nth decimal digit of π (i.e., in base 10). [3] But another formula discovered by Plouffe in 2022 allows extracting the nth digit of π in decimal. [4] BBP and BBP-inspired algorithms have been used in projects such as PiHex [5] for calculating many digits of π using distributed computing. The existence of this ...
Bellard's formula is used to calculate the nth digit of π in base 16. Bellard's formula was discovered by Fabrice Bellard in 1997. It is about 43% faster than the Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe formula (discovered in 1995). [1] [2] It has been used in PiHex, the now-completed distributed computing project.
It was used in the world record calculations of 2.7 trillion digits of π in December 2009, [3] 10 trillion digits in October 2011, [4] [5] 22.4 trillion digits in November 2016, [6] 31.4 trillion digits in September 2018–January 2019, [7] 50 trillion digits on January 29, 2020, [8] 62.8 trillion digits on August 14, 2021, [9] 100 trillion ...
Simon Plouffe (born June 11, 1956) is a French Canadian mathematician who discovered the Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe formula (BBP algorithm) which permits the computation of the nth binary digit of π, in 1995. [1] [2] [3] His other 2022 formula allows extracting the nth digit of π in decimal. [4] He was born in Saint-Jovite, Quebec.

The version presented below is also known as the Gauss–Euler, Brent–Salamin (or Salamin–Brent) algorithm; [1] it was independently discovered in 1975 by Richard Brent and Eugene Salamin. It was used to compute the first 206,158,430,000 decimal digits of π on September 18 to 20, 1999, and the results were checked with Borwein's algorithm.
He entered the week averaging 5.4 YPC and ranked at the top of the league in yards after contact per attempt (4.10), so it’s not as if he and Travis Etienne Jr. have offered similar per-touch ...
Kristin Cavallari has her eyes set on a certain "Yellowstone" star.. During an "Ask Me Anything" session on her Instagram Stories on Sunday, a fan asked the "Very Cavallari" star when she was ...
