Hi.
I thought that both HC and LC "failed" at about 17 digits, not 16. But I could be wrong. Around that level, the internal representation of numbers reaches its limit.
Hermann had made, a few years ago, functions that allowed the addition, multiplication, etc, of numbers of arbitrary length by breaking them down into shorter segments and, er, doing the math. I will try to find those.
