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 ...
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:
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 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.

The Gauss–Legendre algorithm is an algorithm to compute the digits of π.It is notable for being rapidly convergent, with only 25 iterations producing 45 million correct digits of π.
digit = floor ((n / b ^ i) mod b) n-= digit * b ^ i result += digit} return result} Note that the above code is only valid for 1 < β ≤ 10 {\displaystyle 1<\beta \leq 10} and n ≥ 0 {\displaystyle n\geq 0} , as it does not convert each digits to their correct symbols or correct negative numbers.
