bigintcalc
Enables expandable arithmetic operations on integers beyond standard TeX number size limitations.
Overview
Provides essential functionality for handling and manipulating extremely large integer values that would normally exceed TeX's built-in numerical constraints. This specialized package is particularly valuable in:
- Complex mathematical computations requiring precise handling of large numbers
- Document automation where large numerical calculations are needed
- Technical documentation involving extensive numerical processing
- Scientific computing applications within TeX documents
The package performs calculations entirely through TeX's expansion mechanism, making it suitable for use in expandable contexts where traditional arithmetic operations would fail due to size limitations.
Getting Started
To use bigintcalc, include it in your document preamble:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{bigintcalc}
This package provides expandable arithmetic operations for working with integers that exceed TeX's built-in number limits.
Examples
Performing arithmetic operations with very large integers beyond TeX's number limits.
\noindent
Standard TeX can only handle integers up to $2^{31}-1 = 2147483647$.

Using \texttt{bigintcalc} for large integer calculations:

\noindent
Factorial of 30: $\bigintcalcFac{30} = 265252859812191058636308480000000$
\bigskip
\noindent
Multiplying two large numbers: $\bigintcalcMul{9876543210}{9876543210} = 97546105778997104100$
\bigskip
\noindent
Adding large numbers: $\bigintcalcAdd{12345678901234567890}{98765432109876543210} = 111111111011111111100$
