Hello SeqFans,



Step 1 - I concatenate the first 173 consecutive digits of Pi:

3141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592307816406286208998628034825342117067982148086513282306647093844609550582231725359408128481117450284102701938



Step 2 - I insert the divide sign "/" somewhere to produce a fraction:

3141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592307816406286208/998628034825342117067982148086513282306647093844609550582231725359408128481117450284102701938



Step 3 - The fraction = 3.1459...



Can you beat that? (this is, get closer to Pi)?



Best,
