[[Integer (computer science)]] numbers are frequently used in computer programs on all types of systems, since integer math operations are able to be executed quickly even on systems that do not have integrated [[floating-point]] math capabilities.
The size of the number able to be stored (and the size of the possible result) is based on the [[register width]] of the processor on which the code is to be executed. Common [[binary]] sizes for integers include 8 bits, 16 bits, 32 bits (the most common width as of 2005), 64 bits, and 128 bits.
