COMMENTS

The current name does not define a(n) without ambiguity. It is meant that for each n, a(n) is the largest integer such that the remainder of Pi - (partial sum up to n) remains positive. This leads to the FORMULA given below. - M. F. Hasler, Mar 20 2017

FORMULA

a(n) = floor(n!*Pi) - n*floor((n-1)!*Pi) for all n > 0. - M. F. Hasler, Mar 20 2017

EXAMPLE

Pi = 3/0! + 0/1! + 0/2! + 0/3! + 3/4! + 1/5! + ...
