    At my last job I was bored so I wrote sql server functions to perform standard math operations on varchar(max) and used them to build factorial tables which I then used to iteratively calculate pi. I think I got up to around 100 digits before I got yelled at for bogging down the server and had to stop.

    "Only" using 15 digits is still pretty insane

      You get that level of precision in a standard "double" floating point number. So that's basically the normal level of precision you get without trying.
