  2. Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe...

    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 ...

  3. Bellard's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellard's_formula

    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.

    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.

    In other words, the n th digit of this number is 1 only if n is one of the numbers 1! = 1, 2! = 2, 3! = 6, 4! = 24, etc. Liouville showed that this number belongs to a class of transcendental numbers that can be more closely approximated by rational numbers than can any irrational algebraic number, and this class of numbers is called the ...
