    Decided to try this by hand just for the fun of it. I stopped at twelve decimal points because it seems to just go on in a loop forever and I can't do this all day. 2.571428571428....

    Yeah, n/7 does that. It's a loop of 142857, and changing the numerator shifts where in the loop it starts.

    They also go in a pattern where the 'loop' starts with the Nth largest number in the sequence. So:

    1/7= .142857 repeat
    2/7= .285714....
    3/7= .428571...
    4/7= .571428...
    5/7= .714285...
    6/7=.857142...

              Do you, though? Pi starts 3.141592, but 7/22 starts 3.142857, already wrong by the 4th digit.

                Nowhere did he state that the 18 digits would be correct

                like 18 digits

                The simile stands.

                  Actually it makes sense to calculate "analytically" (symbolically) as long as possible and only after that doesn't help anymore, go to "numerical" calculations.
