title: How to prevent Google sheets from rounding large integers in calculations
body: <p>Whenever I try to perform a calculation with a large number result,</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>26^14</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>spreadsheets automatically rewrite it in scientific notation, not saving the excluded numbers and cutting it off.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>6.451E+19</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>To get around this, I have to manually type in the answer.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>64509974703297150976</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>This works for displaying the number, but whenever I try to multiply this number in another cell, sheets will perform the calculation on the rounded number form of the scientific notation number.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>64509974703297200000 * 2 = 129019949406594000000</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>This is the number I get instead of the desired:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>64509974703297150976 * 2 = 129019949406594301952</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Exact numbers are required and this is just getting really frustrating. I would really like to have the answer to stop google sheets from doing this as soon as possible (duh).</p>
