1,000,000 * 1,000,000 is one trillion (1e12).

long can hold up to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 which is much larger than one trillion and so is suitable for your calculation.

'int' can hold up to 2,147,483,647 which is not large enough for your calculation, and so is not suitable.

double and float are floating point and do not seem necessary for your use case at this time (unless you are actually trying to take the square root?).
