expr overflow?

I just wanted to solve this simple calculation: 16777216 * 253
Whenever I try to do this with expr I get a negative value. It seems to be an overflow. How could I calc this two numbers?

[03:23:10] <@ProXy> !tcl expr 16777216 * 253
[03:23:10] <@Hack|The|Planet> result: -50331648 - clicks: 124

Hi, please tell me you don't have a !tcl public command. heh.

To solve your problem, try "expr 1.0 * 16777216 * 253".

Binding to m|m in situations of public scripts with EXPR, is pointless.

Any1 with access to the script, has as much power as a global owner, that has been added to the config file $owner setting.

Yes, it's that insecure.
