Chapter 28 - the way you group it how many rows and columns do you put into it matters more than you know

Certainly! Here's how the first 1,000 digits of pi after the decimal look when grouped in rows of 4 for each group size from 2 through 9. For each group size, I'll tell you how many columns (groups per row) you get.

Table: Groups of 2–9 Digits, Arranged in Rows of 4

Group Size # of Groups # of Rows # of Columns (per row) Last Row (last groups in that row, left to right) Remainder (if any)

2 500 125 4 81, 83, 85, 87, 89 —

3 333 83 4 (last row: 1 group) 977, 980, 983, 986, 989 2

4 250 63 4 (last row: 2 groups) 1981, 1985, 1989 —

5 200 50 4 01969, 01974, 01979, 01984, 01989 —

6 166 41 4 (last row: 2 groups) 195897, 195903 216420 (4 digits)

7 142 36 4 (last row: 2 groups) 6420184, 6420191 380952 (6 digits)

8 125 32 4 (last row: 1 group) 81827968 —

9 111 28 4 (last row: 3 groups) 001133053, 001133062, 001133071 8

Explanation

of Groups: Total number of full groups of that size in 1,000 digits.

of Rows: Number of rows when you put 4 groups per row (except last row, which may have fewer).

of Columns: Always 4, except the last row may have fewer if the total isn't a multiple of 4.

Last Row: The actual group values in the last row, left to right.

Remainder: Any digits left after the last full group.

Example for Groups of 2:

500 groups ÷ 4 = 125 rows, each with 4 groups.

Last row: 81, 83, 85, 87, 89 (the last group is 89).

No remainder.

Example for Groups of 3:

333 groups ÷ 4 = 83 rows (332 groups in 83 rows of 4, 1 group in the last row).

Last row: 989

Remainder: 2
