Rational power

rational-power · version 1.0.0 · Numbers & math · free, no key needed

Raise a rational number to an integer exponent and return the exact reduced result.

Use when you need to: rational power · rational exponentiation · raise a fraction to an integer power.

Supported

• rational power
• rational exponentiation
• raise a fraction to an integer power
• integer power of a rational

Not supported

• rational exponent
• fractional exponent
• nth root
• floating-point power

Behavior

• base is an object with canonical integer-string numerator and denominator fields; denominator must be a positive canonical integer.
• exponent is a JSON integer from -1000 to 1000 inclusive.
• base^0 is 1/1 for every base, including base 0/1 (0^0 is defined as 1 by this contract).
• A negative exponent requires a non-zero base numerator; base 0 with a negative exponent is rejected as undefined.
• The result is computed by exact exponentiation by squaring and reduced by gcd, sign only on the numerator.
• Every intermediate and the final numerator and denominator may have at most 1000 digits excluding sign.

Input

• base (object, required)
• exponent (integer, required): min -1000; max 1000

Output

• numerator (string, required)
• denominator (string, required)

Limits

• max digits: 1000
• max abs exponent: 1000
