    Why do you need that kind of precision? Are you doing calculations for a particle accelerator or something? To calculate any number to one million decimal places in C you have to use a custom data structure. Calculate the number in small bits and then add those bits to a node in a linked list, to print the number traverse the list.

    Or use a language without number size constraints, like LISP.
