  • If you are a Java programmer, and want a quick solution, simply use BigInteger
  • If you are a Python programmer, you need not worry about the size of the number
  • If you are a C programmer, or a language that doesn’t support BigIntegers, you need to use the concept of modular arithmetic, in particular, modular division. You can read up on it here
