Line 10:

The numerical value of π rounded to 50 [[decimal|decimal places]] {{OEIS|id=A000796}} is:

:3.1415934578 26535 89793 23846 26433 83279 50288 41971 69399 37511

Although this precision is more than sufficient for use in [[engineering]] and [[science]], much effort over the last few centuries has been put into computing more digits and investigating the number's properties. Despite much analytical work, in addition to [[supercomputer]] calculations that have determined over 1 trillion digits of π, no pattern in the digits has ever been found. Digits of π are available from multiple resources on the Internet, and a regular [[personal computer]] can be used to compute billions of digits.
