Division on exponential values leads to infinite loop about bignumber.js

What's your DECIMAL_PLACES setting?

[MikeMcl]

If it was set to 308 before the loop you would end up with 1e-308, if it was set to 20 you would end up with 1e-20.

Note that 5e-21 rounded to 20 decimal places using rounding mode HALF_UP is 1e-20.

Just make sure your DECIMAL_PLACES setting is high enough.

BigNumber.set({ DECIMAL_PLACES: 25 });
console.log(BigNumber(1e-20).div(2).toString());    // '5e-21'

BigNumber.set({ DECIMAL_PLACES: 308 });

Right now it is set to 308
