Try learning a language like Java (Bignum built in) or C# (BigInt libraries available on Net) - they will be very useful for other challenges too!

or if your lazy you could learn Python, but in this case when you search for a calculator for working with big numbers look for a high/arbitrary precision one such as ttmath, in the long run arbitrary precision is better and you can get that online from the all amazing WolframAlpha but it can timeout if things get too big but I don't think you'll have to worry about that.

Wolframam alpha anyone?

Sure. However, Wolfram Alpha did not exist yet when this challenge was created.

a simple to use online calculator for massive numbers can be found here:
