Use the Template to define [[wp:Arbitrary-precision arithmetic|Arbitrary precision multiplication]] on numbers stored in Binary Coded Decimal.
* 111111111e63**2 x 81 + 2e135 - 1e126, Gives: 1e144▼
* 111111111111111111e54**2 x 81 + 2e126 - 1e108, Gives: 1e144▼
* 111111111111111111111111111e45**2 x 81 + 2e117 - 1e90, Gives: 1e144▼
* 111111111111111111111111111111111111e36**2 x 81 + 2e108 - 1e72, Gives: 1e144▼
* The last calculation will be with floating point numbers of more then 500 digits.▼
The results will always be 1e144.▼
