Google breaks world record by calculating value of Pi up to astonishing 31.4 trillion digits

The human race’s relationship with Pi began a long time ago, estimated anywhere between 1900 to 1600 BC. Ever since then, the quest to know its true value is on!

What is Pi? It is a mathematical constant that starts with 3.1415… and was originally defined as the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Pi is often used for geometric calculations and is also known as Archimedes’ Constant.

This Archimedes’ Constant has intrigued mathematicians for several centuries. Ancient Egyptian, Babylonian, Chinese, as well as Indian mathematicians, strived to calculate its accurate value.

On March 14, which is also celebrated as the World Pi Day, Google says it joined them by releasing the most accurate value of Pi to date.
