Distribution of Digits for π, e, Euler's Constant, and √2

Here are four famous numerical constants, extended to 50 decimal places: π, e, γ, and √2. For each constant, the approximation will be listed and a histogram of each of the 50 decimal places and the integer part (51 digits in total) will be presented.

Pi
π ≈ 3.14159 26535 89793 23846 26433 83279 50288 41971 69399 37510

Digit Distribution: (digit: number of occurrences)
0: 2

γ (Euler's Constant)

γ ≈ 0.57721 56649 01532 86060 65120 90082 40243 10421 59335 93992

√2

√2 ≈ 1.41421 35623 73095 04880 16887 24209 69807 85696 71875 37694

Digit Distribution:

8: 7
9: 5

Of the four constants presented, √2 has the most even distribution, at far as the first 50 decimal points are concerned.

Fun Fact: 99/70 gives √2 accurate to four decimal places.
99/70 = 1.41428 571428...
