Table: Partial results using the definition of $\gamma$ with double
precision. {#tbl:1_results}
The convergence is logarithmic: to fix the first $d$ decimal places, about
$10^d$ terms are needed. The double precision runs out at the
10\textsuperscript{th} place, $n=\SI{2e10}{}$.
Since all the number are given with double precision, there can be at best 15
correct digits but only 10 were correctly computed: this means that when the
terms of the series start being smaller than the smallest representable double,
the sum of all the remaining terms give a number $\propto 10^{-11}$.
$10^d$ terms of the armonic series are needed. The double precision runs out at
the $10^{\text{th}}$ place, at $n=\SI{2e10}{}$.
Since all the number are given with double precision, there can be at best 16
correct digits, since for a double 64 bits are allocated in memory: 1 for the
sign, 8 for the exponent and 55 for the mantissa:
$$
2^{55} = 10^{d} \thus d = 55 \cdot \log(2) \sim 16.6
$$
Only 10 digits were correctly computed: this means that when the terms of the
series start being smaller than the smallest representable double, the sum of
all the remaining terms gives a number $\propto 10^{-11}$.
