I'm pretty new to mathematica, and for example, when I type: "= 56 * 22" it gives me the result, but when I try to to compute the product of bigger numbers, mathematica says that "no interpretations available". For example when I type: "= 32187382163872163652187352187352187538217538652138585287432185218735873512853872153875213875218735218765382175387521321398765219387621987369218763982176398721693872169387621938762193876219873621986398213 * 672136873621873621873682176387216387216487632876438274687326487326874632876487632874687564328763287648732684753287463287483274587325487532874587324576532765324476532645873268732687463287458325871587621876218763872168736218736218736876218763876432767632979328463".

Is there any limit in mathematica for the input size? What I'm doing wrong? I use mathematica 8. I was googling and I didn't find anybody experiencing something similar or any number limit for mathematica.

Thanks in advance

    Just drop the leading `=` no reason to push the calculation to WolframAlpha – ssch Nov 14 '13 at 16:02
  • yes, of course, I have another tools for such big products, but I can't figure out, why my mathematica 8 can't compute this. I tried dropping the leading "=" but it doesn't do anything. Here is a screenshot: http://imageshack.us/f/4/wsmg.png/ – Rafael Korbas Nov 14 '13 at 16:09
  • ok got it, thanks anyway. The free form input was the problem. Dropping the "=" and evaluating it as "mathematica input" solved the problem :) – Rafael Korbas Nov 14 '13 at 16:18
