Java BigInteger Class Methods

Java BigInteger class has the following built-in methods.

Method Description
abs() It is used to get the absolute value of this BigInteger.
add() It is used to add the given BigInteger (val) to this BigInteger [i.e. (this BigInteger) + (BigInteger val)].
and() It is used to perform and operation between this BigInteger and the given BigInteger (val) [i.e. (this BigInteger) & (BigInteger val)].
andNot() It is used to perform andNot operation between this BigInteger and the given BigInteger (val) [i.e. (this BigInteger) & (~BigInteger val)].
bitCount() It is used to count the number of bits in 2's complement denotation of this BigInteger.
bitLength() It is used to return the number of bits in minimum 2's complement denotation of this BigInteger without including a sign bit.
clearBit() It is used to clear the set bit at the given indices from this BigInteger if exists.
compareTo() It is used to compare to this BigInteger object with the given object or in other words we can say this method it compares two objects of "BigInteger" type.
divide() It is used to divide this BigInteger by the given BigInteger (divsr) (i.e. this BigInteger / BigInteger ).
divideAndRemainder() Returns BigInteger array of 2 elements that contain quotient that is calculated by using (this BigInteger)/(BigInteger val) followed by the remainder that is calculated by using (this BigInteger) % (BigInteger val).
doubleValue() It is used to convert this BigInteger into a double and when this BigInteger value is large enough to fit in a long so it will be converted to either Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY or NEGATIVE_INFINITY.
equals() It is used to check whether this BigInteger and the given object are equal or not.
flipBit() It is used to flip the bit indexed at the given position in this BigInteger.
floatValue() It is used to convert this BigInteger into a float.
gcd() It is used to return the greatest common divisor of the absolute of this BigInteger and the given parameter (val).
getLowestSetBit() It is used to returns the index of 1's bit from the rightmost side in this BigInteger.
hashCode() It is used to return the hash code value of this BigInteger.
intValue() It is used to convert this BigInteger into an integer.
isProbablePrime() It is used to check whether this BigInteger is probable prime or not.
longValue() It is used to convert this BigInteger into a long.
max() It is used to get the highest value from both of the compared object (this BigInteger and BigInteger val).
min() It is used to get the least value from both the compared object (this BigInteger and BigInteger val).
mod() It is used to calculate the mod by using (this BigInteger % BigInteger val).
modInverse() It is used to calculate the mod inverse by using the inverse of (this BigInteger) mod the given BigInteger (val).
modPow() It is used to calculate the mod pow by using the (this BigInteger) raised to the power of the first given argument (exp) mod the second given parameter [i.e. (this BigInteger) pow (exp) mod (BigDecimal val) ].
multiply() It is used to represent the value of this BigInteger multiplied by the given argument.
negate() It is used to negate the value of this BigInteger.
nextProbablePrime() It is used to get the next probable prime number that should be higher than this BigInteger and there is a limit of composite number that should not be exceed 2 pow(-100).
not() It is used to perform not operation on the value of this BigInteger.
or() It is used to perform OR operation between the value of this BigInteger and the value of the given BigInteger.
pow() It is used to calculate the pow by using the value of (this BigInteger) is raised to the power of the value of the given parameter (val) [i.e. (this BigInteger) pow (val) ].
probablePrime() It is used to get the BigInteger that holds the positive probable prime value with the given length.
remainder() It is used to calculate the remainder by using this BigInteger value is to be divided by the given BigInteger value.
setBit() It is used to set the bit value "1" at the given position in this BigInteger.
shiftLeft() It is used to shift the given number of bits towards left side in this BigInteger.
shiftRight() It is used to shift the given number of bits to the right in this BigInteger.
signum() It is used to perform signum (sign number) function on this BigInteger.
subtract() It is used to subtract the given value from the value of this BigInteger.
testBit() It is used to check whether the testing bit indexed at the given position is set or not in this BigInteger.
toByteArray() It is used to convert this BigInteger to a byte [] that holds 2's complement denotation of this BigInteger and the array capacity is enough to represent this BigInteger with one extra bit for sign.
toString() It is used to represent decimal string of this BigInteger.
valueOf() It is used to represent the given long value into a BigInteger.
xor() It is used to perform xor operation between this BigInteger.
