Ramanujan's constant

A thread at Quora mentions Ramanujan's constant which is almost an integer. The formula is:

e^(pi * sqrt(163))

It's easy to compute using bc:

echo 'scale=100 ; e(4*a(1)*sqrt(163))' | bc -l

The result:

262537412640768743.999999999999250072597198185688879353856337336990862707537410378210647910118607 3116295306145602054347
