Loss of significance is an undesirable effect in calculations using floating-point arithmetic.

Floating-point arithmetic, for example, was often not available on 8-bit microprocessors, but had to be carried out in software.

It became the first commercially available computer to use fully automatic floating-point arithmetic commands.

An Intel 8087 co-processor could also be added for hardware floating-point arithmetic.
