Approximating π

To fulfill this, you'd need, for example, this equality to be true as well:
6 = 8a (mod 17)

Up to you to figure out why.

you doing chemistry mate ?
what uni you at ?

The actual number es 66317, not 66371...

No, when I wrote that I found this written in the back of an old book (Mathematical Handbook by Murray R.Spiegel) that was true, unlike what you wrote.

Correct, I transposed the 1 and 7 because fatigue.

Stop talking like a stuck-up faggot. Just talk like a normal person and say "I fucked up".

Find out how to solve linear Diophantine equations in three variables.
I found this solution:
A = -64169028
B = 176464827
C = 1666728

>it appears to be within one-half part per trillion of the actual value
it's only ~39 ppb by my calculation.

I found a other approximation which is slightly more accurate:
[math]\frac{312689}{99532} = \frac{A}{4} + \frac{B}{149} + \frac{C}{167}[/math]
