    What calendar are you using? 355/113 places this year's Pi Day on October 21st, 2052 with the Gregorian calendar using the American MM/DD format and April 30th, 2033 with the ISO DD/MM format.

    Calendar cal = GregorianCalendar.getInstance();
    cal.set(2023,354,113); //subtract 1 from the month because Java calendars index January = 0.
    System.out.println(cal.getTime());
    cal.set(2023,112,335); //subtract 1 from the month because Java calendars index January = 0.
    System.out.println(cal.getTime());
     
    Output:
    Mon Oct 21 10:41:34 CDT 2052
    Wed Apr 20 10:51:33 CDT 2033
