addition and subtraction are simple, look at adc and sbb instructions. multiplying is harder, there are few common algos how to do it. and dividing is hell. modulo is if course dividee - divider*(dividee / divider), wher "/" is ours whole-number division without remainder

My program can do multiplications rather quickly, but its main purpose is powers like "1234 to the power of 5678". I started to look on the subject of Fourier Transforming the results, but no success, I just don't get it Sad

Check out the Projects section for the program.
