Planned maintenance scheduled April 17/18, 2019 at 00:00UTC (8:00pm US/Eastern)How do you calculate the decimal expansion of an irrational number?Can an irrational number have a finite number of a certain digit?Computationally complex irrational numbersInfinite irrational number sequences?how to find out any digit of any irrational number?About the calculation of decimal digits of series up to the nth digitExistence of a sequence of integers $lbrace a_krbrace_{kgeq 1}$ so that the first $k$ digits of $a_kalpha$ are $0$ where $alpha$ is irrational.What is the probability of a repeat occurring at least once in the decimal expansion of an irrational number?Irrational number multiplied by its fractional part becomes rational (SOLVED)Irrational Number inside another Irrational Number

Is there a way to directly find the Nth digit of the fractional part of an irrational number. For example how to 1000th digit of ${pi}$?

    As far as I know, such a method was only discovered for $pi$ and only in base $2$. Usually, you will have to calculate the number precisely enough.

    You can't have a formula for each irrational. The set of formulas is countable, the set of irrationals is not. There are irrationals which can't be computed, like Chaitin's constant.

    And Plouffe's formula is not actually direct, it requires some of the first digits of the number. It is more efficient than brute force, but does not give the result "immediately".
