You can display a 16-base number with the ToString-Function. Here is a
sample notebook:
In[126]:=
p =
11354882100554070846945886900376612381887314805411070198522440388172296396\

54\
673;
In[127]:=
displayHexNumber[p_Integer] := Module[{a, b, c},
a = ToString[BaseForm[p, 16]];
b = StringPosition[a, " "];
c = {b[[1, 1]], b[[Length[b], 2]]};
StringDrop[a, c]]
In[128]:=
displayHexNumber[p]
Out[128]=
"d8cd81f035ec57efe822955149d3bff70c53520d769d6d76646c7a792e16ebd89fe6fc5b606
