For C the largest buildin integer type is 'long long',
which is a 64 bit integer. If you need larger integers
you can use (but this needs to write C++ code) the
"class Integer" from libgplus, which allows you to
use an infinity large integer. (limited only by the
available memory).

I used it already together with the "Rational" class,
which works perfect for writing math programs, which
use rational numbers.
