The number pi and its excellent rational approximation
The number pi is approximately equal to 355/113. Hence the continued fraction for pi includes some very large numbers at the beginning, e.g., 3; 7, 15, 1, 292, ...
The site in MathOverflow below shows the explanation for why pi is slighty smaller than 355/113 by using an appropriate integral.

355/113-pi=integral of (x8 )(1-x)8 (25+816x2 )/(3164(1+x2 )) from x=0 to x=1.
Main question: Is the integral a coincidence?
Any good reason would be appreciated.
