The decimal digits of the constant e begin with the decimal expansion
(OEIS A001113). The constant can be computed to digits of precision in 10 CPU-minutes
on modern hardware.
e was computed to digits by P. Demichel, and the first
have been verified by X. Gourdon
on Nov. 21, 1999 (Plouffe). e was computed to
decimal digits by S. Kondo
on Jul. 5, 2010 (Yee).
The Earls sequence for e gives the starting position of the decimal representation of ,
concatenated with itself
times, counting the first digit after the decimal point as position 1. For
, 2, ..., it is 2, 252, 1361, 11806, 210482, 9030286,
3548262, 141850388, 1290227011, ... (OEIS A224828).
The starting positions of the first occurrence of the decimal representation of for
,
1, ... in the decimal expansion of e
(including the initial 2 and counting it as the first digit) are 14, 3, 1, 18, 11,
12, 21, 2, ... (OEIS A088576).
Scanning the decimal expansion of e, including the initial 2 as the first digit, until all strings of digits have occurred (including those with leading zeros),
the last 1-, 2-, ... digit strings appearing are 6, 12, 548, 1769, 92994, ... (OEIS
A036900), which end at digits 21, 372, 8092,
102128, ... (OEIS A036904).
The digit sequence 0123456789 does not occur in the first digits of e, but 9876543210
does, starting at position
(E. Weisstein, Jul. 22, 2013).
-constant
primes (i.e., e-primes) occur at 1, 3, 7,
85, 1781, 2780, 112280, 155025, ... (OEIS A064118)
decimal digits.
It is not known if e is normal, but the following table giving the counts of digits in the first digits after the decimal point shows that the decimal digits
are very uniformly distributed up to at least
.
