Floating-point arithmetic
In computing, floating-point arithmetic (FP) is arithmetic on subsets of real numbers formed by a significand (a signed sequence of a fixed number of digits in some base) multiplied by an integer power of that base. Numbers of this form are called floating-point numbers. For example, the number 2469/200 is a floating-point number in base 10 with five digits: 2469 / 200 = 12.345 = 12345 ⏟ significand × 10 ⏟ base − 3...
