The web giant has announced the numbers of pi to 31,415,926,535,897 decimal places, setting a new world record.
The value of pi - the mathematical constant defined as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter - has been calculated to record precision by Google.
Although we may all remember the first few digits of pi from school mathematics lessons - 3.14159 etc - the string of numbers is infinitely long. The only question is how deep we want to go. Now, an employee at Google called Emma Iwao has calculated pi to a record level, and did so in honour of"Pi Day", or 3/14, which is humorously celebrated in the US.
In an announcement made on Thursday, the Google staffer said her colleagues had successfully computed pi to 31.4 trillion decimal places.As a comparison, the number 31,415,926,535,897 is only 15 decimal places long.
