resolves #14062
This is a small change, but it fixes the issue and is perhaps not the most efficient solution; the main goal was to not affect the current code base too much.
In the issues, there are 2 approaches mentioned; I went ahead with this one since if a user wants the result as a float, they can still do that by converting the BigRational to a float.
But I want to present this PR more as a proposal for a solution than as a final solution (thereby, no tests are written/updated). If there is consensus to take the other approach, is that also an option.
