Working with a 12 digit number?
« on: February 03, 2015, 09:30:25 pm »
SoI want to find the prime factors of a number. It all works apart from the fact that I can't enter a number 12 digits long. Any ideas on how I would do this?

The maximum of an INT64 is 9,223,372,036,854,775,807. (19 numbers) Wouldn't that be enough?

How are you inputting these values?

I tried Int64 and it would'nt work. Don;t think my program could handle it.

That's why I asked how you where inputting these numbers.
Int64 works perfectly for these high numbers.

(inputting 123456789012345 gives 123456789012345 back)
Code: [Select]
program Project1;
var
  i: int64;
begin
  readln(i);
  writeln(i);
  readln;
end.

So I guess you need to change your program to handle int64 correctly.
