Google calculates pi to 31TRILLION digits breaking world record on ‘Pi Day’ – and the calculation took 121 days to completeBy Sean Keach, Digital Technology and Science EditorPI is everywhere, and it's now more precise than ever – as a Google staffer snags the world record for the most-calculated digits of pi.Pi is the ratio between the radius of a circle and its circumferenceIf you've forgotten since maths class, pi is the ratio of a circle's radius to its circumference.
It's a neat maths trick, but pi has far more digits than simply 3.14, so supercomputers are often tasked with calculating the number to more digits.And the world record has now been broken by Google employee Emma Haruka Iwao. Specifically, she calculated it to 31,415,926,535,897 digits, which also happens to be the value of pi – 3.1415926535897.
