I keep getting mathematical errors when trying to use numbers greater than about 2^32 in Fortran 77. I have to do this project in FORTRAN and as of now I can't see of any way to avoid using the multiplication of very large numbers that will go over 2^32. Now I know that even QBASIC can do something like 2^1024, surely this supposedly superior language called FORTRAN can at least do more than 2^32? Please tell me what I need to do in order to use large numbers in Fortran 77.

declaring "double precision" for all variables didn't work.

Hi - The real answer is it depends - on the hardware you run on, the OS type and version, and the specific compiler you use.

Perhaps that is the point of the exercise - know the limits of your particular environment.
