Description
The MIN_SAFE_INTEGER constant has a value of -9007199254740991. The reasoning behind that number is that JavaScript uses double-precision floating-point format numbers as specified in IEEE 754 and can only safely represent numbers between -(253 - 1) and 253 - 1.
Because MIN_SAFE_INTEGER is a static property of Number, you always use it as Number.MIN_SAFE_INTEGER, rather than as a property of a Number object you created.
Examples
Number.MIN_SAFE_INTEGER // -9007199254740991 -(Math.pow(2, 53) - 1) // -9007199254740991
