The default way to represent non-integral numbers is a compromise between performance and precision. Floating point numbers are pretty fast but, to get that performance, have certain limitations.

Most computers wont use floating point arithmetic, because the computers operate in the binary system.

That means in the form of 0 and 1. but the natural floating point arithmetic are in the base 10, which cannot be represented in the computers exactly.  

All the decimal fractions cannot be represented as the binary fractions.
