Convergents to

227 is the difference between 333 and 106, which are respectively the numerator and denominator in the fourth convergent to pi,[2] [3] correct to four decimal places:

\pi

333
106

3.1415{\color{red}0}\ldots

Meanwhile, the sum of the first few denominators in convergents to pi (1, 7, 106, 113) yields 227.
