You are proposing that can represent the entire rational set?

[โ€“] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yes that is correct. A BigInt represents the entire integer set.

Rational numbers are defined by just 2 integers. Therefore, 2 BigInts represent the entire rational set.
