you need high precision arithmetic for that, perhaps you were thinking of the spigot algorithm? http://www.cs.williams.edu/~heeringa/cla...spigot.pdf page 9 has code that you can convert to QB64

Thanks for trusting my math skills,  Wink  but I've never heard of that until now.

For me, "programming" is just a distraction, something to take my mind off things for a while. To do this, I choose something, or I come across something, and then try to solve it. Sometimes it works, but often it doesn't. Well, what the heck.

I'll see if I wil tackle the problem again.
