  2. Approximations of π - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximations_of_π

    ((x),(y) = {239, 13 2} is a solution to the Pell equation x 22 y 2 = −1.) Formulae of this kind are known as Machin-like formulae . Machin's particular formula was used well into the computer era for calculating record numbers of digits of π , [ 39 ] but more recently other similar formulae have been used as well.

    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. [136]

    Computation of binary digits: 80 days; Conversion to base 10: 8.2 days; Verification of the conversion: 45.6 hours; Verification of the binary digits: 64 hours (Bellard formula), 66 hours (BBP formula) Verification of the binary digits were done simultaneously on two separate computers during the main computation.

    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.)

  7. Gauss–Legendre algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss–Legendre_algorithm

    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 . However, it has some drawbacks (for example, it is computer memory -intensive) and therefore all record-breaking calculations for many years have used other ...

    Using the P function mentioned above, the simplest known formula for π is for s = 1, but m > 1. Many now-discovered formulae are known for b as an exponent of 2 or 3 and m as an exponent of 2 or it some other factor-rich value, but where several of the terms of sequence A are zero.
