}}</ref> Numerical values are stored as groupings of [[bit]]s, such as [[byte]]s and words. The encoding between numerical values and bit patterns is chosen for convenience of the operation of the computer;{{cn|date=June 2020}} the encoding used by the computer's instruction set generally requires conversion for external use, such as for printing and display. Different types of processors may have different internal representations of numerical values and different conventions are used for integer and real numbers. Most calculations are carried out with number formats that fit into a processor register, but some software systems allow representation of arbitrarily large numbers usingrfhrfusing dcbdfbdfbdcv-ghmultiple saintwords oe7ydifiuefyrfooyegthfdvfeuuifeuhgrfpufriou89re0t747y644to85497t564yrefioligrtuyreihorulujmcrnbjkfvrgrjkhf7o9t848t47584of 43247rgifhgutfrlitrhigfgvjhrfhvkjgdhvdgvgdskhffefhjghfdvnfdfcvdffgryjthieuurfyy T p8r93474376CFTEURGCDSKYUIUFYRETVDELWODEW65EW7RE2T6E628I2EWYTWEDKUBREFTmemory.
