Numbers in Hypatia can be as large as 1E1000 (1 followed by one thousand zeros), and as small as 1E-1000.

Integer numbers can have up to 18 digits, which would be enough to count each second since the beginning of the universe some 13.8 billion years ago.

Floating point numbers (numbers with a decimal point) are limited to 15 significant digits, though Hypatia's internal accuracy is 17 to 18 digits.

Hypatia knows decimal, hexadecimal and binary numbers.
