\$\begingroup\$ Actually the docs do specify for factor that if built without gnu mp only single-precision is supported. \$\endgroup\$

\$\begingroup\$ @Dani_l Well, the man entry for bash only says: "Evaluation is done in fixed-width integers with no check for overflow, though division by 0 is trapped and flagged as an error." It doesn't specify the width. (As I recall, the stock implementations of bash on my machines use 64-bit signed integers, but I can't check right now.) As for factor, it will surely be updated: the OP's future computers with infinite resources will have factor compiled with gnu_up to get unlimited precision :). \$\endgroup\$
