HP Prime: Long integers (continued)
Message #1 Posted by Helge Gabert on 6 Nov 2013, 2:12 p.m.

This is probably related to an earlier post a while back about long integers,

exact(1e14)=1
Really?

I am getting similar results for larger exponents (in CAS mode and non-CAS mode). The cut-off appears to be 1E14, though.

Yes, anything greater than 1e14 exhibits this behavior with exact().

approx() seems to be OK, though (regardless of the magnitude of the argument).
