Will pi ever end?

Pi is an irrational number. As such, it has no final digit. Furthermore, there is no pattern to its digits.

Is pi proven to be infinite?

Pi is finite, whereas its expression is infinite. Pi has a finite value between 3 and 4, precisely, more than 3.1, then 3.15 and so on. Hence, pi is a real number, but since it is irrational, its decimal representation is endless, so we call it infinite.

What are the first quadrillion digits of Pi?

4 million digits (compressed): zenwerk.com

  • 50 million digits (compressed,special): You can download 50 million from the Pi searcher here.
  • 4 billion digits: Available in various formats from pi.super-computing.org.
  • 5 trillion digits (requires special viewer): Alexander Yee makes 5 trillion digits available via bittorrent.

    • How do you calculate the digits of Pi?

    Make sure you are using a perfect circle. This method won’t work with ellipses,ovals,or anything but a real circle.

  • Measure the circumference of a circle as accurately as you can. The circumference is the length that goes around the entire edge of the circle.
  • Measure the diameter of the circle.
  • Use the formula.

    • How many decimals of Pi do we really need?

    The most distant spacecraft from Earth is Voyager 1. It is about 12.5 billion miles away.

  • We can bring this down to home with our planet Earth. It is 7,926 miles in diameter at the equator. The circumference then is 24,900 miles.
  • Let’s go to the largest size there is: the visible universe. The radius of the universe is about 46 billion light years.

    • How many digits of Pi have been calculated?

    The value of the number pi has been calculated to a new world record length of 31 trillion digits, far past the previous record of 22 trillion. Emma Haruka Iwao, a Google employee from Japan, found the new digits with the help of the company’s cloud computing service.
