This is a very loosely related issue, but I think it fits in here. To be consistent with the documentation, the three argument power should use the ideal exponent: >>> c = getcontext() >>> c.prec = 400 >>> Decimal('1E400') % Decimal('1123123E5') Decimal('8.45074E+10') >>> pow(Decimal('1E400'), 1, (Decimal('1123123E5'))) Decimal('84507400000')
