Does emacs have support for big numbers that don't fit in integers? If it does, how do I use them?

A:
Emacs Lispers frustrated by Emacs’s lack of bignum handling:
calc.elprovides very good bignum capabilities.—EmacsWiki
calc.el is part of the GNU Emacs distribution. See its source code for available functions. You can immediately start playing with it by typing M-x quick-calc. You may also want to check bigint.el package, that is a non-standard, lightweight implementation for handling bignums.

Looks like this'll do the job... calc looks a bit daunting at first look, but I'll figure it out eventually. Thanks.
