pi/2-arctan(1000000)<1/1000000; the first nonzero digits of pi/2-arctan(1000000) are as follows:
999999999999666666666666866666666666. The twelve 6's before 8 correspond to the limit shown at the end of the Mathematica program. What about the next eleven 6's?
EXAMPLE
Let x=pi/2 and y=arc(1000000); then
x=1.57079632679489661923132169163975144209858469968755291048...
