Hi felippemed,
The GMAT won't require that you multiply "big" numbers together in the Quant section, so if you think that you must do that to answer a given GMAT Quant question, then there is almost certainly an easier/faster way to get to the solution.
Have you come across any prompts that made you think that this type of math was required? If you post them in the respective Quant Forum(s), you'll almost certainly receive explanations and advice that will show you how you can avoid doing that type of math.

Hi
EMPOWERgmatRichC,
Thank you for your feedback.
Since this section is called "General GMAT Questions and Strategies," I thought it was the right place. Next time I will place it in the Quant Section.
My bad.
So, there is a question in the test code 25, section 7, number 1, that exemplify the need. Probably, as you said, a better technique may be more efficient and available, but since I got this notation from the very first page of the
all-u-need-for-gmat-quant-90489.html#p689013 I thought it would be useful to understand some parts that I could not - which by the way is the third most downloaded quant notation in the Forum with >200 kudos.
