The Dutch astronomer, Willebrord Snellius, calculated pi to 35 decimal places in the early 17th Century.
To do this we convert 60.5 to a decimal. Move the decimal point over 2 places to the left and you have .605. Now multiply this by 80. The answer is 48.4.One way to remember this is to think of an easy percent such as 50%. This is 1/2 or .5Note that we took 50 and moved the decimal to the left two places.
William Shanks took 15 years, from 1847 to 1862, to calculate pi to 707 decimal places. His work was based on a mathematical formula he developed, but it was later discovered that he made an error in the 528th decimal place, which resulted in the incorrect values for subsequent digits. Despite this, his effort was remarkable for the time and remained the most extended calculation of pi until the advent of computers.
39 / 50 = 0.78 It would have been quicker and simpler to use your calculator and you could be more certain that the person answering took the question seriously. How do you know I am not messing about?
It took many years to do it, some say 400 years . as it is written by many people in different places like prison, exile and this had to be found put in place , all took a lot of time.
