Nope
You've got to think how computers store numbers
It's a lot less than that really <g>
It takes 128 bytes to store a number 308 digits long (well, just hitting
the 308th) - positive only
So, getting to 6 billion digits would be less than 6 billion bytes, but
probably around 2 billion bytes - if you want it "signed" then you'd
have to add an extra bit onto the end
Still, that's a LOT of memory
