Question #153122

What are two different approximations for Euler’s constant ‘

Expert's answer

The number e or Euler's number, is an important mathematical constant approximately equal to 2.71828.

The two possible approximations of e are:

1) The approximation found by R. Sabey in 2004 is correct to 18457734525360901453873570 decimal digits and is given by:e=(1+9−442)3285e = (1 + 9 ^{-4^{42}})^{3^{2^{85}}} ,

2) Another approximation found by Castellanos (1988ab) is good to 6 digits:

e=2+542+412802.e = 2 + \frac{54^2 + 41^2} {80^2}.
