In computer science, arbitrary-precision arithmetic indicates that calculations are performed on numbers whose digits of precision are limited only by the available memory of the host system. This contrasts with the faster fixed-precision arithmetic found in most ALU hardware, which typically offers between 16 and 64 bits. Arbitrary-precision arithmetic is also called bignum arithmetic, multiple precision arithmetic, and sometimes "infinite-precision arithmetic".
