The problem, so far as I understand it, is to write a custom implementation
of big numbers.  I was just pointing out that one can use Strings so long
as the bases being used are not too large.  But that for larger bases, it's
going to become more straightforward to use arrays of integers.

The built-in implementations of numbers are not that relevant, to my mind.
