Sorry, after going back and trying the Windows Calculator, I see that it is limited to 16 digits in Decimal notation, so, it's fine only for integer up to that size only, and, as you pointed out, no good for your problem.
So, I surfed the Internet, as I knew there was a good calculator for large numbers, and, I found one! I tried it with 39 decimal intgers, converted to binary, to hex, and back, all worked fine!
The program in called BigCalc.exe, is only 600+ KB, and can be downloaded from:

Does this help?
