I've got this very ugly formula by playing Maple syntax via old and
new inverse symbolic calculators :
Pi = 6/7*(1/3*sum((843*n + 4607)/((n+5)*(3*n+7)*(3*n+22)),n=0...infinity)
- 655999/248976 - 7/2*ln(3))*sqrt(3)
What I've got for Pi above - is it just a good approximation or exact ?
(My old PC with PARI/GP can not get over the summing )
It looks that this 655999/248976 fraction quickly becomes periodic around
920249341301972880
gp > \p 1000
realprecision = 1001 significant digits (1000 digits displayed)
gp > 1.0*655999/248976
%4 = 2.6347880
