What compiler? Many compilers have a 64 bit integer built-in. That will handle up to 15 to 18 digit numbers.
To go beyond this, you normally have to find or write your own code, or you can use doubles.
Doubles can approximate really large numbers, but they don't remember every digit of them. I doubt they will be useful, but depending on your purposes...
Writing your own isn't all that hard, especially if you don't need to divide them by each other, or multiply them together.
