2.2 Numerical Computations2.2 Numerical Computations • 7Integer ComputationsInteger calculations are straightforward. Remember to terminate eachcommand with a semicolon.> 1 + 2;3> 75 - 3;72> 5*3;15> 120/2;60Maple can also work with arbitrarily large integers. The practical limiton integers is approximately 2 28 digits, depending mainly on the speedand resources of your computer. Maple can calculate large integers, countthe number of digits in a number, and factor integers. For numbers, orother types of continuous output, that span more than one line on thescreen, Maple uses the continuation character (\) to indicate that theoutput is continuous. That is, the backslash and following line endingshould be ignored.> 100!;933262154439441526816992388562667004907\15968264381621468592963895217599993229\91560894146397615651828625369792082722\37582511852109168640000000000000000000\00000> length(%);
