PHP - Large Interger mod calculation

I need to calculate modulus with large number like :

<?php

    $largenum = 95635000009453274121700;

    echo $largenum % 97;

?>

It's not working... beacause $largenum is too big for an int in PHP.

Any idea how to do this ?

From stackoverflow

• Use bcmod() from BCMath Arbitrary Precision Mathematics:

  $largenum = '95635000009453274121700';
  echo bcmod($largenum, '97');
  

  Note, that $largenum is passed as a string, not converted to int.
