Use R to calculate median without element replication

Question

I have a frequency distribution with huge numbers. I want to calculate the medians and quartiles, but R complains. Here's what works for small numbers:

> TABLE <- data.frame(DATA = c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19), F = c(48,0,192,1152,5664,23040,77952,214272,423984,558720,267840,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0))
> summary(rep(TABLE$DAT,TABLE$F))
   Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max. 
  1.000   9.000  10.000   9.397  10.000  11.000

Here is what I get for the huge numbers:

> TABLE <- data.frame(DATA = c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19), F = c(240,0,1200,9600,69600,470400,2992800,17859840,98312880,489292800,2164619760,8325820800,26865302400,68711068800,128967422400,153763315200,96770419200,26824089600,2395008000))
> summary(rep(TABLE$DAT,TABLE$F))
Error in rep(TABLE$DAT, TABLE$F) : invalid 'times' argument
In addition: Warning message:
In summary(rep(TABLE$DAT, TABLE$F)) :
  NAs introduced by coercion to integer range

This error does not surprise me because, using "rep", I wanted to create a huge vector. But I do not know how to avoid this and calculate the median and quartiles.
