Hi.

Does anyone know a spreadysheet type of a program that can calculate 100 digit numbers to 20-30 decimal places?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Thank you I'll try moving it to the software section.

The excel plugins that you recomended do not handle very large numers.

?

Scraped directly from the web pages I gave you:

"Numerate Pro allows full arbitrary precision calculations in any cell simply by setting the desired precision."

"If you're a programmer, you can also call xlPrecision's arbitrary-precision (bignum, multi-precision) arithmetic library functions directly from your own programming code."

"Recent Features
Arbitrary precision integer functions.
Arbitrary precision floating-point functions."

Where are you finding it documented that these do not handle "very large numbers"?
 
I looked at the example on the front page. But it seems that you can get 2,147,483,648 digits which is great. But its a paid version. And for the free version you have to get a confirmation code for every calculation. That would not work for me.

I tried to look for the Math&Science Software section on this forum but could not find it.
 
Does it have to be a spreadsheet?
