What is the exact multiplication problem? What does 99999 10 10 10 represent? Are you referring to the limited precision of computer arithmetic, in terms of computer architecture?

there are some computers out there now that have calculated pi to a silly degree. Computers already can do things like this, but it is very complicated so a calculator program isn't going to do it. The biggest issue is that the integer data type is usually 4 to 8 bits. This limits the maximum value it can hold. You can create an integer with as many bits as you want, but as I said at the beginning, thats very complicated.

Large operations can be built up from smaller operations.
Properly programmed, the computer you have now can perform this multiplication. So could your Commodore 64, that you bought in 1983.
