A modem is a device that enables a computer to transmit data over telephone or cable lines. The word modem is actually a contraction of the words modulator and demodulator (MOdulator/DEModulator).

The value of pi is represented as 3.14159 or 22/7. However, pi is a transcendental number, which means that it is a nonterminating, nonrecurring decimal. Mathematicians have used computers to calculate the value of pi to millions of digits. The millionth digit after the decimal has been calculated and found to be the number ‘1’.
