 It appears that the verb   ^  may be a large part of the problem (as in 
14^2). Check NuVoc  /vocabulary/Numeric Precision  and go the table for 
different verbs . This and the division may be floating point in this case

^ ^. -: % %. inexact (complex if needed),

preserves extended and rational
if result is exact
