You've described the problem. The solution is to make calculating more like the
method for shorter numbers, since that's already familiar to users. But probably
it can't be programmed to be done the same way. So, what would help is if the
method for large numbers at least could be given a similar user interface and
supplied with Calc. Then users wouldn't all have to invent workarounds or be
mystified by trying to handle large exact numbers.
