Hi
I need to divide, subtract and add *very* large unsigned integer numbers --
no floating point numbers. In PHP I'm limited to an integer no larger than:
2,147,483,647 ...
How is it possible to calculate much, much larger numbers?
For example, say I want to add the following number:
(7827363524473290039928827730299288277102938474655367299188272630 +
7829817981291982837938719793747646199192739190198791238479832)
---
I'm ok at math, but not too skilled in it -- so, if the above can be
calculated using Floating Numbers - great! -- however, if possible, I'd like
to stick to unsigned integers.
Thanks,
Jason
