This is an approximation to Pi. It is accurate to 0.04025%.
Consider the recurring part of 22/7 and the sequences R(i) = 2, 1, 4, 2, 3, 0, 2, ... and Q(i) = 1, 4, 2, 8, 5, 7, 1, .... For i > 0, let X(i) = 10*R(i) + Q(i). Then Q(i+1) = floor(X(i)/Y); R(i+1) = X(i) - Y*Q(i+1); here Y=5; X(0)=X=7. Note 1/7 = 7/49 = X/(10*Y-1). Similar comment holds elsewhere. If we consider the sequences R(i) = 3, 2, 3, 5, 5, 1, 4, 0, 6, 4, 6, 3, 4, 3, 1, 1, 5, 2, 6, 0, 2, 0, 3, ... and Q(i) = A021027, we have X=3; Y=7 (attributed to Vedic literature). - K.V.Iyer, Jun 16 2010, Jun 18 2010
