You should use BigInteger for this..

They can be as large as you need - until you run out of memory.

eg:

BigInteger Bigintvar1 = new BigInteger("1234567890123456890");
BigInteger Bigintvar2 = new BigInteger("2743561234");
Bigintvar1 = Bigintvar1.add(Bigintvar2);

The java.math.BigInteger class provides operations analogues to all of Java's primitive integer operators and for all relevant methods from java.lang.Math.

You can refer here for BigInteger
