That is, where m is the number of miles, k is the number of kilometres and e is Euler's number. A density of one ounce per cubic foot is very close to one kilogram per cubic metre: 1 oz/ft 3 = 1 oz × 0.028349523125 kg/oz / (1 ft × 0.3048 m/ft) 3 ≈ 1.0012 kg/m 3 .
Later computers calculated pi to extraordinary numbers of digits (2.7 trillion as of August 2010), [4] and people began memorizing more and more of the output. The world record for the number of digits memorized has exploded since the mid-1990s, and it stood at 100,000 as of October 2006. [ 6 ]
is the number of collisions made (in ideal conditions, perfectly elastic with no friction) by an object of mass m initially at rest between a fixed wall and another object of mass b 2N m, when struck by the other object. [1] (This gives the digits of π in base b up to N digits past the radix point.)
The rate of convergence of a limit governs the number of terms of the expression needed to achieve a given number of digits of accuracy. In Viète's formula, the numbers of terms and digits are proportional to each other: the product of the first n terms in the limit gives an expression for π that is accurate to approximately 0.6n digits.
Continued fractions with more than 20 known terms have been truncated, with an ellipsis to show that they continue. Rational numbers have two continued fractions; the version in this list is the shorter one. Decimal representations are rounded or padded to 10 places if the values are known.
There are many other combinatorial interpretations of binomial coefficients (counting problems for which the answer is given by a binomial coefficient expression), for instance the number of words formed of n bits (digits 0 or 1) whose sum is k is given by (), while the number of ways to write = + + + where every a i is a nonnegative integer is ...
These combinations (subsets) are enumerated by the 1 digits of the set of base 2 numbers counting from 0 to 2 n − 1, where each digit position is an item from the set of n. Given 3 cards numbered 1 to 3, there are 8 distinct combinations , including the empty set:
The number e π − π is also very close to an integer, its decimal expansion being given by: . e π − π = 19.999 099 979 189 475 767 26... (sequence A018938 in the OEIS). The explanation for this seemingly remarkable coincidence was given by A. Doman in September 2023, and is a result of a sum related to Jacobi theta functions as follows: = =
