JDK-4881832 - Add static final TEN field to BigInteger
Description
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When working with percentages, i often have the percentage like 17
and i have to divide it by 100 ((17 % becomes 0.17) to do calculations with the percentage.
It would be handy to have a constant BigDecimal.ONE_HUNDRED to do this division.
