<p>Emma Haruka Iwao, a cloud developer advocate for the company, smashed the previous record of 22 trillion, using 25 Google Cloud virtual machines.</p>
<p>Coming up with the figure used about 170 terabytes of data and took 121 days to complete.</p>
<p><em>“The biggest challenge with pi is that it requires a lot of storage and memory to calculate,”</em> Ms Iwao said.</p>
<p><em>“I’m really happy to be one of the few women in computer science holding the record, and I hope I can show more people who want to work in the industry what’s possible.”</em></p>

<p>See how Seattle-based, Googler <a href="https://twitter.com/Yuryu?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Yuryu</a>, used Google Cloud to calculate 31.4 trillion digits of Pi for a new world record. This is the first time π has been calculated using the cloud. Take that supercomputers!</p>

<p>Pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, which begins with 3.14 and continues infinitely.</p>
<p>An application called y-cruncher was used to calculate pi, the same used by the previous record holders since 2010, but this is the first time that cloud computing was used.</p>
<p><em>“We use pi for everything in our daily life, designing buildings, building bridges, highways – pi is one of the most important constants in mathematics and science,”</em> she continued.</p>
<p>The announcement comes on the annual Pi Day celebration, observed on March 14.</p>
