Abstract: Many important well-known constants such as and (3) can be approximated by a truncated hypergeometric series. A modular algorithm based on rational number reconstruction was previously proposed to reduce space complexity of the well-known binary splitting algorithm [1]. In this paper, we examine some variations of this algorithm using Mersenne number moduli and Montgomery multiplication. Implementations of these variations are compared to existing methods and evaluated for their practicality
