[R] Exponentiate very large numbers

Dear R experts,
I have the logarithms of 2 values:
log(a) = 1347
log(b) = 1351
And I am trying to solve this expression:
exp( ln(a) ) - exp( ln(0.1) + ln(b) )
But of course every time I try to exponentiate the log(a) or log(b)
values I get Inf. Are there any tricks I can use to get a real result
for exp( ln(a) ) - exp( ln(0.1) + ln(b) ), either in logarithm or
exponential form?
Thank you very much for the help
