%N a(n) is the n-digit positive number with no trailing zeros and coprime to its digital reversal R(a(n)) at which abs(R(a(n))/a(n)-Pi) is minimized.

%C a(n) and R(a(n)) have the same number of digits.

%C Petr Beckmann wrote that the fraction 92/29, corresponding to the second term of the sequence, appeared as value of Pi in a document written in A.D. 718.
