One large number that fits in 64 bits is:
F^^^^^^F = 15 ^ .... ^ 15
12345678
[8*8=64 bit]
According to Conway and Guy (1996) The Book of Numbers, p. 60, the arrow notation, defined by Knuth in (1976), is such that
m^n is m x m x ...x m,
m^^n is m^m^ ...^m,
m^^^n is m^^m^^ ... ^^m,
and so on, with n copies of m in each case, and the expression being evaluated from the right.
That is however inconceivably smaller than the number in the article, which exceeds Graham's number.
