This worked for me, to get a number loaded at least: BigInteger bi = new BigInteger("12345");

You have to work all in BigIntegers. Where you have: factorial *= i I believe you need to do this: factorial = factorial.multiply(new BigInteger(...)) Your new BigInteger is constructed as indicated before, with a string: Integer.toString(i) Making: factorial = factorial.multiply(new BigInteger(Integer.toString(i))); Here's a site with usage examples for the BigInteger class: http://javatutorialhq.com/java/math/biginteger-class/
