http://apfloat.appspot.com/ http://www.javascripter.net/math/calculators/100digitbigintcalculator.htm I haven´t use any of them but they appears ok. There are some big num packages on the web you can use. regards 2015-04-29 12:26 GMT-03:00, Antoine Couëtte: > Apr 29th, 2015 > Hello to all, > For Navigation purposes I need to transform radians into degrees with at > least 16 significant digits (and - better - if possible to 20 or even 24 > significant digits).
