Description

We have switched to using only Java's implementation of BigInteger and BigDecimal. However, we still have some lingering usages of Scala's version.

We can find such uses by using the dissasembler:

javap -c -l `find . -name *.class | grep scala-2.12` > src.bytecode

Then searching the resulting file for "scala/math/BigInt" and "scala/math/BigDecimal"

Since all our tests pass, these appear to not cause any functional issue, but should be cleaned up for purposes of consistency.
