It is claimed that pi, to 39 digits provides a level of accuracy sufficient to "draw" a circle the size of a hydrogen atom at the far end of the known universe. However, few cosmological constants are known t anything approaching that level of accuracy.
The first 10 digits are 3.1415926535 and these are sufficient for all but the most rigorous calculations. There is a text file available at the related link that has the first billion (takes at least 35 seconds to load).The field size of this page cannot accommodate even the first 200,000 digits.

Count the first 4 digits in the answer :)
5 will be sufficient.
Japanese mathematician Yasumasa Kanada, who computed trillions of digits for pi, is an IT professor at the University of Tokyo.
You would just use significant digits. Significant digits are digits that carry meaning contributing to its precision. That would include all digits except leading zeroes, trailing zeros, and calculations carried to a greater precision than the original data or equipment supports.
If they did not use rules all their calculations would simply lead to random digits!
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

Rounding numbers means adjusting the digits (up or down) to make rough calculations easier. The result will be an estimated answer rather than a precise one
Make sure you have enough significant digits, depending on the desired accuracy.
The significant figures (also called significant digits) of a number are those digits that carry meaning contributing to it's precision. This includes all digits except:Leading zeros where they serve merely as placeholders indicate the scale of the number.spurious digits introduced, for example, by calculations carried out to greater accuracy than that of the original data, or measurements reported to a greater precision than the equipment supports.
