Which Program Can Calculate 100-Digit Numbers with High Precision?

AI Thread Summary
Numerate Pro and xlPrecision are recommended programs for calculating 100-digit numbers with high precision, offering both free trials and paid versions. Numerate Pro allows arbitrary precision calculations in any cell, while xlPrecision provides a library for programmers to use in their own code. Users noted that Excel plugins may not handle very large numbers effectively. The discussion also mentions XNUMBERS as an alternative, although its specific capabilities were not detailed. Overall, the thread highlights various software options for high-precision calculations.

Hi.

Does anyone know a spreadysheet type of a program that can calculate 100 digit numbers to 20-30 decimal places?

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?
