Proposed solution

```python
# solution.py
import sys

def calculate_geometric_series(N, M):
    X = sum(N**i for i in range(M + 1))
    return X if X <= 10**9 else 'inf'

if __name__ == "__main__":
    input_data = sys.stdin.read().strip()
    N, M = map(int, input_data.split())
    result = calculate_geometric_series(N, M)
    print(result)
```
