Actually, the square root of 4,985,003.,172,886 is not a number at all, since 4,985,003.,172,886 is a text value, not a number itself. Now, the square root of 4,985,003,172,886 is 2,232,712.067, which is not all that big a number, but a million here and a million there and pretty soon it adds up to real money. And the square root of 4,985,003.172886 is only 2,232.712067, which really isn't all that big a number by almost any standard (other than the "Rats in my Kitchen" standard. Of course, by that standard, any number greater than 0 is relatively large.)

Actually, it just occurred to me that all of the points I made above are just nitpicking. There is no single square root of any number, but rather a positive and a negative square of any positive number, so that the square root of 4 is not merely 2 but also -2, meaning that the square root of 4,985,003.,172,886, however it is parsed to function as a number would be both a relatively large and a relatively small number.

There are no integral solutions to x^{<small>n</small>} + y^{<small>n</small>} = z^{<small>n</small>} where <i>n</i> &gt; 2.
