This is not a result that has anything to do with base representation, nor are the vast majority of number theoretic results.

- Natsu 11y agoWe're being trolled, I think. The only thing I can think of where base (sort-of) matters is that we have a formula for the Nth hexadecimal digit of pi, but not for the Nth decimal digit of pi. But I think that's due to lack of interest in making such a function, rather than some inherent reason why this could not be done.
