paragraph_text: Known digits
  
  The number of known digits of e has increased substantially during the last decades. This is due both to the increased performance of computers and to algorithmic improvements.
  
  Since around 2010, the proliferation of modern high-speed desktop computers has made it feasible for amateurs to compute trillions of digits of e within acceptable amounts of time. On Dec 5, 2020, a record-setting calculation was made, giving e to 31,415,926,535,897 (approximately π × 10) digits.
