Default entering numbers in excel

Precede the number with a single quote (apostrophy).

when I tried to enter number 123456789101112,the last digit ie 15th digit
changes to 0 instead of 2.It happens with every number with morethan 14
digits.
I tried regional settings which seem ok to me.
Is there a way out to enter number as number without using the text
formatting.
