Thread: Representing Massive Numbers

Hello! I just joined these forums with the hope I could get some help on a interesting algorithm I've found. The algorithm has a high rate of yielding primes. For example, after running the algorithm from 2 to 20000, 18% of the numbers produced were primes. Highest prime reached at that point was 1199580037.

I'm running the algorithm in Java and I need a way to represent the massive numbers that result from running the algorithm. Are there any forms your familiar with, perhaps through exponentiation, that could help me out?

Thanks for any help!
