Calculation of the first 50,000,000,000 digits of Pi (\(\pi\)), both in decimal and hexadecimal digits.

\[\pi = \int_{-1}^1 \frac{dx}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\] \[\pi = \frac{4}{1} - \frac{4}{3} + \frac{4}{5} - \frac{4}{7} + \frac{4}{9} - \frac{4}{11} + \frac{4}{13} - \cdots\]

Chudnovsky Formula (Used to Compute Digits):

\[\frac{1}{\pi} = 12 \sum^\infty_{k=0} \frac{(-1)^k (6k)! (545140134k + 13591409)}{(3k)!(k!)^3 \left(640320\right)^{3k + 3/2}}\]
