What is 28679718602997181072337614380936720482949 written in base 7?

I have converted this number from base 10 to base 7 with two different converters, and both gave me the same number. However, when I put the number in, it's wrong. Is there some trick to this one?

hi,

most of the converters won't be able to calculate with very large numbers.
it depends of the used data-type (in the used programing language) processing your input.

i think you have to write your own converter program ... or calculate this manually

php has no problems with it

Thanks, guys, I got it.

Thanks, guys))

or, in case you'd like the shimmer of perl:

use bignum;

i tryed php but the calculate number isn't the right one.
i read also that base_convert only works fine up to 36 digits, but this number asked for is more than 36 digits

thx for the bignum help, Polke. I don't think I've ever had to use that before now.
