Japanese retired engineer Akira Haraguchi holds the unofficial world record for memorizing 100,000 digits of pi, reciting them in over 16 hours in 2006 using a system that converts numbers to syllables and then to stories, though Guinness World Records hasn't officially validated it. While Haraguchi holds the unofficial title, the official Guinness World Record for memorized digits (currently 70,000 by Rajveer Meena) requires strict validation, which Haraguchi's efforts haven't fully met, despite detailed documentation.
The most decimal places of Pi memorised is 70,000, and was achieved by Rajveer Meena (India) at the VIT University, Vellore, India, on 21 March 2015. Rajveer wore a blindfold throughout the entire recall, which took nearly 10 hours. Comments below may relate to previous holders of this record.
Haraguchi uses a system he developed, which assigns kana symbols to numbers, allowing for the memorization of pi as a collection of stories. The same system was developed by Lewis Carroll to assign letters from the alphabet to numbers, and creating stories to memorize numbers.
The 100-trillionth decimal place of π (pi) is 0. A few months ago, on an average Tuesday morning in March, I sat down with my coffee to check on the program that had been running a calculation from my home office for 157 days. It was finally time — I was going to be the first and only person to ever see the number.
Twenty-five-year-old Rajveer Meena, a native of Morchala village of Sawaimadhopur district in Rajasthan on Saturday was able to memorise 70,000 digits of the mathematical value of Pi.
After successfully breaking the speed record for calculating pi to 100 trillion digits last year, the team at StorageReview has taken it up a notch, revealing all the numbers of Pi up to 105 trillion digits! Spoiler: the 105 trillionth digit of Pi is 6!
On 14 August 2021, a team (DAViS) at the University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons announced completion of the computation of π to 62.8 (approximately 20π) trillion digits.
The sequence 999999 occurs at decimal 762 (which is sometimes called the Feynman point; Wells 1986, p. 51) and continues as 9999998, which is largest value of any seven digits in the first million decimals.
The Two Quadrillionth Bit of Pi is 0! Distributed Computation of Pi with Apache Hadoop.
What's after trillion? The next number after trillion is quadrillion, or a 1 with 15 zeros after it: 1,000,000,000,000,000. Knowing the names of large numbers can be useful if you're working with extremely large values or doing higher-level mathematics.
In this final line we have found 3.1416 is between 355/113 and 22/7. And this is where we have the fraction 355/113 is approximately equal to π! (Note this algorithm was based on an approximate value 3.1416 for π, and we got 355/113 < 3.1416 < 22/7.

His older sister, America, followed closely behind, reciting 6,800 digits to claim the record for 12-year-olds. Their journey is more than just a numbers game — it's a testament to the power of perseverance, the capabilities of the human mind, and the deep passion both siblings have for learning.
Despite having memorized 800 digits of pi, Ly is still far from the current world record of 42,195 digits held by Hiroyuki Goto of Japan since 1995.
- The value of pi is equal to the circumference of a circle divided by its diameter. - Pi is an irrational number, meaning it has infinite nonrepeating decimal places. - The current world record for the most digits of pi memorized by a person is 70,000, achieved by Rajveer Meena.
This fractional representation is widely used in classrooms and common calculations, leading to the widespread yet erroneous belief that π is precisely equal to 22/7. While 22/7 serves as a convenient approximation, it does not capture the true essence and value of π.
pi has infinite digits, so there has never been a 100% accurate calculation with a circle and there never will be.
π ≈ 3.14 means the mathematical constant pi (π), which is the ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter, is approximately equal to the number 3.14 for practical calculations, as pi is an irrational number that goes on forever (3.14159...) without repeating. The "≈" symbol signifies "approximately equal to," showing 3.14 is a simplified value used for convenience in everyday math problems.
A thousand trillions is a quadrillion: 1,000,000,000,000,000. A thousand quadrillions is a quintillion: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000. A thousand quintillions is a sextillion: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. And so on.
Therefore there are 5*105/10 = 50000 1's.
In Roman numerals, C M X C I X ¯ C M X C I X represents the number 999999.
Humans have now calculated the never-ending number to 31,415,926,535,897 (get it?) — about 31.4 trillion — decimal places. It's a Pi Day miracle! Previously, we published a story about humans' pursuit of pi's infinite string of digits.
A more lengthy record is held by Rajveer Meena (India) who recited 70,000 digits of pi over the period of 10 hours while wearing a blindfold. For most calculations, knowing pi out to the hundredth or thousandth decimal place is sufficient.
The record-setting achievement was documented in a feature video released by the Linus Tech Tips YouTube channel, giving viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the project and revealing the final digit of the record-setting calculation: spoiler alert…the 300 trillionth digit of Pi is 5.
