It only shows 9 digits in the table but it maintains precision to about 15 significant figures.

Fixed Decimals and Whole Numbers can express up to 19 digits of significance but aren't a good fit for the example given. For 20+ significant digits, you'd have to store them as text or break them into multiple columns.
