Error calculating pi using the Chudnovsky algorithm - Java

Question

I have been trying to write a simple program to calculate pi using the Chudnovsky algorithm however I keep getting the wrong value output. The latest code i have written is below and outputs:

9.642715619298075837448823278218780086541162343253084414940204168864066834806498471622628399332216456e11

Can anyone tell me where I went wrong.

As Peter de Rivaz pointed out I was discarding the value of b with that fixed the output is now: -1.76779979383639157654764981441635890608880847407921749358841620214761790018058‌​3600120191582474909093e-2

    Apfloat sum = new Apfloat(0);

    for(int k = 0; k < n; k++) {
        int thrk= 3*k;

        Apfloat a = ApintMath.factorial(6*k); //(6k)! * (-1)^k
        a = a.multiply(ApintMath.pow(new Apint(-1),k));

        Apfloat b = new Apfloat(545140134);
        b = b.multiply(new Apfloat(k));
        b = b.add(new Apfloat(13591409)); // 13591409 + 545140134k

        Apfloat c = ApintMath.factorial(thrk); // (3k!)

        Apfloat d = ApintMath.factorial(k);
        d = ApfloatMath.pow(d, 3); // (k!)^3
        Apfloat e = new Apfloat(640320); 
        e = ApfloatMath.pow(e,(thrk)); // (640320)^(3k)

        a = a.multiply(b); // a is know the numerator
        c = c.multiply(d).multiply(e); // c in know the denominator 

        Apfloat div = a.divide(c.precision(digits));
        sum = sum.add(div);
    }

    Apfloat f = new Apfloat(10005, digits);// Works out the constant sqrt part
    f = ApfloatMath.sqrt(f);
    f = f.divide(new Apfloat(42709344*100));
    Apfloat pi = ApfloatMath.pow(sum.multiply(f), -1);

    System.out.println(pi);

Answer 1

The denominator for the Chudnovsky algorithm involves 640320^(3k + 3/2) - you only use 640320^(3k).
