I wonder how many bits are required for the number (2^43112609 − 1)?
I tried to search google for something but i didn't find a way to calculate it so i ask you. Ofcourse there is a price for it

There are 8 bits in a byte. A byte can be as large as 255.
The actual space that a number takes in memory depends on the math processor that is being used.

Could you give me an example? I have created a 128 bit integer by combining a ULong (low) and a Long(high). How many bits would i need for this type of structure?

You could create your own way to calculate thats not using the operators(like -,+)
But I'm not really into calculating

[mandai]

Your own way could be to use a list of many smaller data types that accurately represent the large number. There are some articles that describe how to work with big numbers.
