Abstract
In this chapter we consider the arithmetics of arbitrary large integers. Integer arithmetic is the backbone of every computer algebra system, hence we would like to discuss this topic in some detail. In order to be able to compute with integers, they must be suitably represented. In the history of Mathematics, several representations of integers have been introduced, two of which are still in use: the roman and the arabic number systems.
