  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

    One important application is verifying computations of all digits of pi performed by other means. Rather than having to compute all of the digits twice by two separate algorithms to ensure that a computation is correct, the final digits of a very long all-digits computation can be verified by the much faster Bellard's formula. [3] Formula:

    Finds a formula that allows the nth hexadecimal digit of pi to be calculated without calculating the preceding digits. 28 August 1995 Yasumasa Kanada and Daisuke Takahashi: HITAC S-3800/480 (dual CPU) [36] [37] 56.74 hours? 4,294,960,000: 11 October 1995 Yasumasa Kanada and Daisuke Takahashi: HITAC S-3800/480 (dual CPU) [38] [37] 116.63 hours ...

  5. Chudnovsky algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chudnovsky_algorithm

    The Chudnovsky algorithm is a fast method for calculating the digits of π, based on Ramanujan's π formulae.Published by the Chudnovsky brothers in 1988, [1] it was used to calculate π to a billion decimal places.

  6. Six nines in pi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_nines_in_pi

    A sequence of six consecutive nines occurs in the decimal representation of the number pi (π), starting at the 762nd decimal place. [1] [2] It has become famous because of the mathematical coincidence, and because of the idea that one could memorize the digits of π up to that point, and then suggest that π is rational.

  7. Spigot algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spigot_algorithm

    A variant of the spigot approach uses an algorithm which can be used to compute a single arbitrary digit of the transcendental without computing the preceding digits: an example is the Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe formula, a digit extraction algorithm for π which produces base 16 digits. The inevitable truncation of the underlying infinite ...

  8. Pi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi

    The number π (/ p aɪ / ⓘ; spelled out as "pi") is a mathematical constant, approximately equal to 3.14159, that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.It appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics, and some of these formulae are commonly used for defining π, to avoid relying on the definition of the length of a curve.
