            Sqrt(4) - 2 = 3.9378992339362513964719291444358459196643504626684867133312775132667336556050866493546387304075566414818330038038295060147049046413138657775207384487209999618622897470743768272532233306387808895650314543995525529065482320548203801311885605071904357825187703782014895108614888708459734293476714554362468810447809428975260776308251921152998341440712577547187250299521717400700236027297480547576700432251758684242034663903791398932294256110257450914185948984125441052563042008394844537793781156975099171360793772881e-532
