Given a potentially very large number, it is sometimes nice to approximate this. To find the "best", or "nicest" approximation, usually we restrict the base of an exponent, so that your given number $n$ is approximately $b^x$. The idea is that $b^x$ is nicer looking than your input.

This is a very small package exporting a function to find b and x, given a range b can be in.
