All records from 1400 onwards are given as the number of correct decimal places. 1400: Madhava of Sangamagrama: Discovered the infinite power series expansion of π now known as the Leibniz formula for pi [13] 10: 1424: Jamshīd al-Kāshī [14] 16: 1573: Valentinus Otho: 355 ⁄ 113: 6 1579: François Viète [15] 9 1593: Adriaan van Roomen [16 ...
Haraguchi holds the current unofficial world record for reciting 100,000 digits of pi in 16 hours, starting at 9:00 a.m. (16:28 GMT) on October 3, 2006. He equaled his previous record of 83,500 digits by nightfall and then continued until stopping with digit number 100,000 at 1:28 a.m. on October 4, 2006.
From 2002 until 2009, Kanada held the world record calculating the number of digits in the decimal expansion of pi – exactly 1.2411 trillion digits. [1] The calculation took more than 600 hours on 64 nodes of a HITACHI SR8000/MPP supercomputer. Some of his competitors in recent years include Jonathan and Peter Borwein and the Chudnovsky brothers.
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.
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.
The software may be obtained from the Pi-Hacks Yahoo! forum, or from Stu's Pi page. Super PI by Kanada Laboratory [101] in the University of Tokyo is the program for Microsoft Windows for runs from 16,000 to 33,550,000 digits. It can compute one million digits in 40 minutes, two million digits in 90 minutes and four million digits in 220 ...

Emma Haruka Iwao (born April 21, 1984) is a Japanese computer scientist and cloud developer advocate at Google. [5] [6] In 2019 Haruka Iwao calculated the then world record for most accurate value of pi (π); which included 31.4 trillion digits, exceeding the previous record of 22 trillion.
