As of April 1999, 68.7 billion places had been calculated. As of September 1999, 206 billion places had been calculated.
It was 1 241 177 300 000 decimals in 2002
Pi can be used to calculate the area of a circle Pi can be used to calculate the circumference of a circle

In April 1999, Yasumasa Kanada and Daisuke Takahashi calculated pi to 68.7 billion places. In September 1999 they improved that to just over 206 billion.The current record (in May 2016) is 13.3 trillion.
Japanese mathematician Yasumasa Kanada, who computed trillions of digits for pi, is an IT professor at the University of Tokyo.

Professor Yasumasa Kanada and a team of researchers set a new world record by calculating the value of pi to 1.24 trillion places, project team member Makoto Kudo said yesterday. The previous record, set by Kanada in 1999, was 206.158 billion places. This record (above) has been superceeded as algorithms and computational speeds continue to improve On August 17, 2009, Daisuke Takahashi announced that his team had calculated pi to 2.577 trillion places On December 31, 2009, Fabrice Bellard announce he had calculated pi to about 2.700 trillion places.
The computer was a HITACHI SR2201, and in 1999 i think they used a HITACHI SR8000 or a SR800 i cant remember tho.
The computer was HITACHI SR2201. But in 1999, they calculated even more decimal places (206,158,430,000) with the HITACHI SR8000.
