I was wondering if anyone knew of where I could get all 2,260,321,363 digits of pi? I was able to find a website with 502 digits, but I was wondering if anyone knew of where I could get more then 502?

This web page gives you the first ten thousand digits: Joy of Pi

Thanks Mike! My only worry now though, is that a lot of the sites I find online though are personal sites and often times the information on them is inaccurate. I am just wondering if there is anyway now to verify that that site is accurate.

Just out of curiosity...

Why is it important to verify every digit presented -- and just how do you plan to actually check the accuracy of even the first few thousand digits?

Of course for practical purposes -- in precision engineering applications and such -- 10 or 12 decimal places should suffice.

Beyond that, the calculation of ever more digits of pi is of theoretical interest for its statistical properties, and for validating computer hardware and software.

By the way, the entertaining book The Joy of Pi by David Blatner (Walker & Co., 1997) prints out the first one million digits -- in very small type.

Pi has been calculated to over a trillion digits, but I'm sure you realize that being an irrational number, the digits of pi continue endlessly without repeating. Developing algorithms for churning out the digits is itself an interesting and non-trivial mathematical problem.

Good luck, and try not to go blind or crazy in your endeavor!

Here's tons more.

If you're bored, try to see if it stops. Should waste plenty of time.

preoffesor, my friend and I (she is a theoretical math major) love the number pi. We decided to see how acuratly we could complete the circumphrence of a cicle. (btw, he both hate rounding.)

You might also enjoy reading A History of Pi by Petr Beckmann (St. Martin's Press, 1971), which is apparently not cited in the website that is home to MkStfnz's link. That book prints the first 10,000 digits of pi on just two pages.
