$\"10%5E36\"$ is a 1 followed by 36 zeros. To subtract the 63 we have to borrow from the 1 (so it will be gone after subtracting). Then 34 of the 36 zeros will be 9's and the last two digits will be 3 and 7:

\r\n" );
document.write( "  1000000000000000000000000000000000000\r\n" );
document.write( "-                                    63\r\n" );
document.write( "_______________________________________\r\n" );
document.write( "   999999999999999999999999999999999937\r\n" );
document.write( "

So the sum of the digits would be 34*9+3+7 = 306+3+7 = 316. \n" ); document.write( "
