Solution 1

For explicit setting of long values you should append a 'L' otherwise the compiler will take it as an int and it will overflow:

Java

long num=600851475143L;

Solution 2

Hello

you need to add an L at the end of the number.

C#

class Sum
{
static public void main(String args[])
{
long num=600851475143L;
}
}

Valery.
