Default Entering a 16 digit number

I am creating an Excel worksheet and am trying to enter credit card numbers
in one of the columns. When I enter the number, it automatically changes the
last digit to a "0". How do I format the cells to accept a 16 digit number?

Format as text or precede the entry with an apostrophe, excel has 15 digits
precision but I assume you won't do any calculations with credit card number
