pi anyone?

In celebration of pi approximation day, I'm going to host the equivalent of porn for nerds; the first 10^6 million digits of Pi. A pretty modest approximation of this wonderfully giving number. Came across some other interesting things while getting to this number including:

Other fractional approximations



  1. 22 / 7 ~= 3.142857142857

  2. 355 / 113 ~= 3.1415929203539823

  3. 312689 / 99532 ~= 3.1415926536189366233

  4. 21053343141 / 6701487259 ~= 3.1415926535897932384623817427748

Euler's beautiful equation for pi is



so with no futher adieu, the first million digits of pi
