Class Methods

Sr.No	Method & Description
1	static BigInteger binomial(int n, int k) Returns n choose k, also known as the binomial coefficient of n and k, that is, n! / (k! (n - k)!).
2	static BigInteger divide(BigInteger p, BigInteger q, RoundingMode mode) Returns the result of dividing p by q, rounding using the specified RoundingMode.
3	static BigInteger factorial(int n) Returns n!, that is, the product of the first n positive integers, or 1 if n == 0.
4	static boolean isPowerOfTwo(BigInteger x) Returns true if x represents a power of two.
5	static int log10(BigInteger x, RoundingMode mode) Returns the base-10 logarithm of x, rounded according to the specified rounding mode.
6	static int log2(BigInteger x, RoundingMode mode) Returns the base-2 logarithm of x, rounded according to the specified rounding mode.
7	static BigInteger sqrt(BigInteger x, RoundingMode mode) Returns the square root of x, rounded with the specified rounding mode.

Methods Inherited

This class inherits methods from the following class −

• java.lang.Object

Example - BigInteger Divison

GuavaTester.java

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.math.BigInteger;
import java.math.RoundingMode;

import com.google.common.math.BigIntegerMath;

public class GuavaTester {

   public static void main(String args[]) {
      GuavaTester tester = new GuavaTester();
      tester.testBigIntegerMath();
   }
   
   private void testBigIntegerMath() {
      System.out.println(BigIntegerMath.divide(BigInteger.TEN, new BigInteger("2"), RoundingMode.UNNECESSARY));
      try {
         
         //exception will be thrown as 100 is not completely divisible by 3 
         // thus rounding is required, and RoundingMode is set as UNNESSARY
         System.out.println(BigIntegerMath.divide(BigInteger.TEN, new BigInteger("3"), RoundingMode.UNNECESSARY));
      } catch(ArithmeticException e) {
         System.out.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
      }
   }
}

Output

Run the GuavaTester and verify the result.

5
Error: Rounding necessary

Example - BigInteger Log Operations

GuavaTester.java

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.math.BigInteger;
import java.math.RoundingMode;

import com.google.common.math.BigIntegerMath;

public class GuavaTester {

   public static void main(String args[]) {
      GuavaTester tester = new GuavaTester();
      tester.testBigIntegerMath();
   }
   
   private void testBigIntegerMath() {

      System.out.println("Log2(2): " + BigIntegerMath.log2(new BigInteger("2"), RoundingMode.HALF_EVEN));
      System.out.println("Log10(10): " + BigIntegerMath.log10(BigInteger.TEN, RoundingMode.HALF_EVEN));
   }
}

Output

Run the GuavaTester and verify the result.

Log2(2): 1
Log10(10): 1

Example - BigInteger SQRT/Factorial Operations

GuavaTester.java

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.math.BigInteger;
import java.math.RoundingMode;

import com.google.common.math.BigIntegerMath;

public class GuavaTester {

   public static void main(String args[]) {
      GuavaTester tester = new GuavaTester();
      tester.testBigIntegerMath();
   }
   
   private void testBigIntegerMath() {
      System.out.println("sqrt(100): " + BigIntegerMath.sqrt(BigInteger.TEN.multiply(BigInteger.TEN), RoundingMode.HALF_EVEN));
      System.out.println("factorial(5): "+BigIntegerMath.factorial(5));
   }
}

Output

Run the GuavaTester and verify the result.

sqrt(100): 10
factorial(5): 120
