Why do regular calculators fail with large numbers?

Standard computer processors use IEEE-754 double-precision floating-point numbers, which cap exact integers at 2⁵³ - 1 (9,007,199,254,740,991, about 16 digits). Anything larger loses accuracy or overflows to 'Infinity'.

A googol is the large number 10¹⁰⁰ (1 followed by 100 zeroes). A googolplex is 10 raised to the power of a googol: 10^(10¹⁰⁰).

What is the maximum number of digits this calculator handles?

This arbitrary-precision engine can effortlessly calculate numbers up to tens of thousands of digits in length in real-time.

How to use it

1️⃣ Select an operation: Basic Math (+, -, ×, ÷, mod), Exponentiation (Xʸ), or Large Factorial (N!).
2️⃣ Enter your large integers (accepts standard numbers, scientific notation like 1e50, or hundreds of raw digits).
3️⃣ Click calculate to compute exact arbitrary-precision results.
4️⃣ View digit count, scientific notation, and copy the full output to your clipboard.

Formula

Uses arbitrary-precision BigInt arithmetic. For factorials: N! = N × (N - 1) × ... × 2 × 1. For division: A = Q × B + R.
