A floating point number is therefore a computer's -approximation of a real number.; -#X text 43 453 Interesting side-note: In the early 1990's \, the Intel -80486 was shipped with a math coprocessor to help accelerate the process -of computing floating point numbers (which previously required a considerable -amount of CPU power.)
