How to typeset large numbers

I saw the posts on how to typeset long formulas into LaTeX, but I just want to output a really long number into LaTeX.

2011^2011 is long, and I want to demonstrate that its last 3 digits are actually 611.

However, it outputs onto one line and doesn't fit.

So: How do I force it to break?

    Welcome to TeX.sx! Does this question help you? How to typeset large numbers If so, please tell us, or point out why it doesn't. – egreg Jan 01 '13 at 14:58

    φ(100) = 40; 2011 ≡ 11 (mod 1000), 2011 ≡ 11 (mod 40); thus 2011^2011 ≡ 11^2011 ≡ 11^11 (mod 1000) and 11^11 = 285311670611. Yes, the last three digits are 611. :) – egreg Jan 01 '13 at 15:07

    It would be much easier to format your number in your favorite editor such that each line has say 60 digits and then paste it into a TeX file. Big numbers and TeX don't get along well so leave the typesetting to TeX but handle the delicate math to something else. – percusse Jan 01 '13 at 15:19

    The question http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/15911/15925 egreg points to looks like a duplicate. However, the numprint solution there failed on your example, so I have posted a second solution to that question there that copes with your case. – Andrew Swann Jan 02 '13 at 09:43
