I don't know what's not taking what, but long is at least 32-bit long, hence
unsigned long will fit your 3000000000 nicely.

But you'll have problems multiplying this number in integer arithmetics
(using longs only) by anything other than 1. If that's what you have, you
should probably use long long (or _int64 as per msvc++, which doesn't know
long long) or go for double or long double, which has more bits in mantissa
than simple long (up to 80 if I'm not mistaken are supported by x86/x87
FPU).
