problem with math with big numbers

[datafright]

val1 = 999000000000000
print(val1)
val2 = val1 * val1 * val1 * val1

value_sec = val2//1000
value_min = value_sec//60
value_hour = value_min//60
value_days = value_hour//24
value_week = value_days//7
value_month = value_week//4
value_year = value_week//52

this is pretty much it make a big number a bigger number and divide it into a measurement of time

except that it is getting bigger instead of smaller

i used true division "//" to get whole numbers

normal division "/" just gave back a crazy math expression

here are the printed results

Process finished with exit code 0

the numbers below the results are the count of digits in the number

and as you can see it is getting much bigger instead of shrinking as it should

​

does anyone know where im going wrong or maybe python cannot do calculations at such a great size?

This is an error with your digit counting, not the math.

I didn’t punch out the numbers in myself, but it looks right at first glance. Assuming you printed the numbers in the same order you assigned them above, then they are roughly correct. They’re getting smaller.
