Displaying huge numbers in Excel

[kevinonearth]

Hi,
how can massive numbers be displayed in Excel?

question broken down

29^289 = 7.2215E+413

now get the modulus of that huge number by 33 so

mod 33 of 7.2215E+413 should = 8

but excel cant do it numbers max out at 109E+105 or somethinng like that

See this file for a better explanation:

Thanks

Hi Kevin ,

A detailed explanation of the method , without recourse to actual large number arithmetic , is given here :

Hi, kevinonearth!
Am I wrong, drunk, something alike, or this is the same question as:

Do you have 2 identities or are you taking the same course as 7orqu3?
