Stefan: Here's one way: AccountingForm[(Sqrt[2]+Sqrt[3])^2002,1000]] The two digits to the left of the decimal point are 10; the two to the right of the decimal point are 00. Best, Harvey Harvey P.

Hello, I'm a newbie ... I have a rather huge number ( (Sqrt[2]+Sqrt[3])^2002 which is app. 3.85x10^996 ) and want to know the two ciphers that are (a) directly before and (b) directly after the decimal point. Is there a way to achieve this with Mathematica? Thanks, Stefan. ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs SkyScan service.
