Im using pow from cmath.h for the power of function. Im using the line of code pow(80,7). Int and long are to small to give me the right value. Im going to use printf or cout to display the result
what data type can I use

I don't know cmath so forgive me if this is an overly simple question but are there any reason that you need to use a non decimal number such as long or int rather then say [double](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_precision) ? – Karl-Henrik May 06 '14 at 04:36

Do you really need to store the entire product, or are you eventually going to reduce it modulo some much smaller number? – Jim Lewis May 06 '14 at 04:36
