Chronology of computation of π

Pi (approximately 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288) is a mathematical sequence of numbers. The table below is a brief chronology of computed numerical values of, or bounds on, the mathematical constant pi (π). For more detailed explanations for some of these calculations, see Approximations of π.

As of July 2024, π has been calculated to 202,112,290,000,000 (approximately 202 trillion) decimal digits. The last 100 decimal digits of the latest world record computation are:
