Does anyone know any place on the internet where I can find a program to do multiplication for me? I need something that can deal with numbers that have more than 40 digits.
P.S. If you are really bored, can you help me to check that if

Arbitrary precision integer multiplication is not difficult to write in a programming language such as C(++) or (God forbid, something like Visual Basic), just think about how you'd do long multiplication as a human and replicate it in a programming language.
If you don't have the necessary prerequisite programming skills, you have a few options, either acquire software such as Mathematica, Matlab or Maple (or there may be freeware software available for arbitrary precision arithmetic, I don't know). The Windows XP PowerToys calculator supports precision up to 512 bits which allows for numbers much longer than you have above. It's available from MS' site. Alternatively, I believe Java includes an arbitrary precision arithmetic package, if you have the Java skills to use it.
EDIT: It appears your calculation was in fact right, sorry.
I hope this helps,

Had to make a 60 digit calculator in computing last year...
PM me if u want it, ive got it lying about somewhere.

Thanks for the reply. I guess that means I have something here can deal with numbers which give products of 2*1024^3 digits. That's one hell of a number...
Next stop. Square rooting large numbers.
P.S. Program written in Delphi (Pascal).
Never did such thing in computing...had to do something to differentiate polynomials though...

i had to deal with large numbers while writing a combination of the enigma and RSA ciphers. i used an implementation in C++ called CLongInt<n>, where n is the number of bits. I had the source code somewhere, but I can't find it...

Things like this are fun in mathematica, its just fun to do like 30000! just cos you can and end up with a number about 20 A4 pages long on size 12 font. Plotting 3d cylindrical spiarals using parametric coordinates is also fun, (sad i hear you call)
