Try: julia> 10^(1/BigFloat(4)) 1.778279410038922801225421195192684844735790526402255358011830722776301881539489 You must make sure that already the first operation, the division is done with high accuracy.

Perhaps you want to convert before the operation:

julia> BigFloat(10)^(1/4)
1.778279410038922801225421195192684844735790526402255358011830722776301881539489
