    The exact integer answer will be approximately 2^45 bits long. That's 4
    terabytes, and if output in hexadecimal that would be a line 8TB long.
    Do you really have that much RAM? Do you really need an exact answer?
    If you need the exact bits but don't need them all at once then you're
    into the realm of specialised algorithms that you can't possibly expect
    to find in a general-purpose tool.
