    ((x),(y) = {239, 13 2} is a solution to the Pell equation x 22 y 2 = −1.) Formulae of this kind are known as Machin-like formulae . Machin's particular formula was used well into the computer era for calculating record numbers of digits of π , [ 40 ] but more recently other similar formulae have been used as well.

    Neutron stars have overall densities of 3.7 × 10 17 to 5.9 × 10 17 kg/m 3 (2.6 × 10 14 to 4.1 × 10 14 times the density of the Sun), [a] which is comparable to the approximate density of an atomic nucleus of 3 × 10 17 kg/m 3. [24] The density increases with depth, varying from about 1 × 10 9 kg/m 3 at the crust to an estimated 6 × 10 17 ...
