Did you by chance use the C++ pow() function? It uses floats and doubles in it's calculations, so you run into some precision issues where numbers like 29480883458974409 turn into 29480883458974400. This is because of the way floats are internally stored. I initially used pow() because I thought it would be quicker and less error prone than writing my own power function. Ironically, I would have been better off if I had written my own function.
I hope this helps!
