The first 10 digits are 3.1415926535 and they literally go on forever after that. Scientists and mathematicians are still looking for more digits of pi and likely will be for a long time.

It produces about 14 digits of π per term [134] and has been used for several record-setting π calculations, including the first to surpass 1 billion (10 9) digits in 1989 by the Chudnovsky brothers, 10 trillion (10 13) digits in 2011 by Alexander Yee and Shigeru Kondo, [135] and 100 trillion digits by Emma Haruka Iwao in 2022.

Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is observed on March 14 (the 3rd month) since 3, 1, and 4 are the first three significant figures of π, and was first celebrated in the United States. [2] [3] It was founded in 1988 by Larry Shaw, an employee of a science museum in San Francisco, the Exploratorium.
Celebrations took place on 3/14/15 at 9:26:53 a.m., the numerical date and time together representing the first 10 digits of pi, 3.141592653," according to History. The day, coincidentally, also ...
In October 2011, Shigeru Kondo broke his own record by computing ten trillion (10 13) and fifty digits using the same method but with better hardware. [44] [45] In December 2013, Kondo broke his own record for a second time when he computed 12.1 trillion digits of π. [46]
The digits of pi extend into infinity, and pi is itself an irrational number, meaning it can’t be truly represented by an integer fraction (the one we often learn in school, 22/7, is not very ...
A mathematical constant is a key number whose value is fixed by an unambiguous definition, often referred to by a symbol (e.g., an alphabet letter), or by mathematicians' names to facilitate using it across multiple mathematical problems. [1]
