Java ArithmeticException BigInteger would overflow supported range -

i working on algorithm check if number prime , need work big numbers therefore using biginteger class. problem exception thrown arithmeticexception biginteger overflow supported range.

exception in thread "main" java.lang.arithmeticexception: biginteger overflow supported range     @ java.math.biginteger.reportoverflow(unknown source)     @ java.math.biginteger.checkrange(unknown source)     @ java.math.biginteger.<init>(unknown source)     @ java.math.biginteger.shiftleft(unknown source)     @ java.math.biginteger.pow(unknown source)     @ kitas.main(kitas.java:118) 

and line exception thrown:

b = biginteger.valueof(2).pow((int) (35*(math.pow(2, counter)))); 

once counter reaches value of 26, exception thrown.

(int) (35 * math.pow(2, 26)) == (int) (2348810240d) = integer.max_value 

with result power you're trying raise 2 integer.max_value, result have on integer.max_value binary digits. biginteger isn't big enough that, , storing numbers large pretty impractical.

nothing built java let test primality of numbers large.
