1.2411 trillion digits (1,241,100,000,000) digits of pi have been dicovered. * * * * * 1.2 trillion? That is ancient history! Pi is a transcendental number and so its decimal representation has infinitely many digits. Ten trillion digits in its decimal form were calculated in October 2011. See link for details.
The number of digits in a number system is equal to the base of the system. The decimal system is base 10 and has ten digits. Binary has two bits, which is short for binary digits. Hexadecimal has sixteen digits (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E & F), and so on.
It is an irrational number. All irrational numbers have infinitely long non-recurring representations in the decimal system. Using the binary, octal, hexadecimal or any other rational base will not make a difference. The representation will remain infinitely long and non-recurring.
One fewer than the base for the number system.
64 different whole numbers can be written with 6 bits.

pi is a transcendental number. That means that it has a non-terminating, non-recurring decimal representation. That, in turn, means that nobody can ever identify all the digits of pi (except if counting in base pi, and that does not really help). And since there are an infinite number of digits it is always possible that the next stretch of digits will change the digit that is the most common so far.

A decimal is a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. A decimal representation does not require a decimal point. It can have any number of digits: from one to infinitely many.
Infinity miles. Pi is irrational so its decimal representation has an infinite number of non-repeating digits.
It is an irrational number. All irrational numbers have infinitely long non-recurring representations in the decimal system. Using the binary, octal, hexadecimal or any other rational base will not make a difference. The representation will remain infinitely long and non-recurring.
