Resolves #7680
Since @ananagame closed his PR, I decided to try to implement this for my first contribution.
Instead of an iterative approach, this implementation uses the operators of the underlying BigInt representation to achieve the same results.
I also added tests and tried to format the styles of the tests to match those in the surrounding file.
