Yes, I got it wrong. Two asterisks for exponentiation.

I've corrected the post.

Did you try that to see if it accurately produces a result?

Of course. It does.

Okay, so you just want arbitrary precision integers, this is a well known problem that has been solved many times (lots of options on that Wikipedia page I linked, and even more in the talk page).

Never knew they had talk pages. Wow, confusing array of posts.

The first link did have some more clues. I just need to test it.

Marking it as solved since I did get some ideas but I haven't tried them yet.
