### Question

The number π (pi) is a mathematical constant, defined as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. Being an irrational number, π cannot be expressed as a common fraction.

In March, 2019, Emma Haruka Iwao computed π to 31,415,926,535,897 ($π × 10^{13}$) decimal places. A chronology of computed numerical values of π can be found on the dedicated wikipedia page.
