Default Make Long Integer Field Size show 2.5 Billion

The largest number I can show with the Long Integer field size seems to be 2100000000.

I need it to show 2500000000. How can I accomplish this??????

Default Solution: Field Size Double

Thank you for your help.
I needed it to hold a number larger than 2.2 Billion.
By changing the field size to Double instead of Long Integer, I was able to accomplish that.
Thanks again.
