Curios Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I wanted to ask if anyone knows about a software or powerful online calculator that is able to perform calculations with a solution (a real number in this case) in the range of 300-400 digits. I’m currently working on a problem that involves primes and need such a calculator to test few results. I need the exact solutions to some calculations and not an estimate to the solution such as X^99 or an approximation of Pi or e. I hope someone can help. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woelen Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 This piece of software may be of great help to you. It is a computer algebra system with a lot of number theoretic functions, including all kinds of primality-related things, with a very easy to use programming language (called GP), in which you can program all kinds of things. You also can give simple statements for direct calculations: http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/ Default precision can be changed to virtually unlimited precision.

John Cuthber Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 "I need the exact solutions to some calculations and not an estimate to the solution such as X^99 or an approximation of Pi or e." Good luck with the exact value of those transcendental numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane_alien Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 well, there are programs that'll let you find pi to a billion digits (if you have the time and lots of RAM and HDD space.) i wonder if thats accurate enough for him/her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragib Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Very simple and fast program that works up to 5011 digits. Extremely useful. Bcalc.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlsaloud Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Pi is exactly 3. Which would cause a ripple in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curios Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 I have not checked this thread in a long time but what I meant by: "I need the exact solutions to some calculations and not an estimate to the solution such as X^99 or an approximation of Pi or e." is that I'm not trying to calculate either Pi or e (the exact value for them cannot be calculated anyways). I'm trying to find the roots to a massive number. Anyways thanks for the help and the links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane_alien Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 there is always pencil and paper. as many digits as required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
