Abstract
The problem of the investigation of close encounters of a small body with a large planet using long computer words (Wolfram, 1991) have been considered on the example of asteroid 1991 VG which has a lot of close encounters with the Earth, one of them was 0.0031 a.u. in December, 21, 1991. Together with the classical equations of motion (x t ) we have used the regularized equations (x s ) (Bordovitsyna et al., 1998).
