Arbitrary-precision arithmetic, also known as bignum arithmetic, is a form of computation that allows for numbers of any size and precision to be represented and manipulated. Unlike standard data types in many programming languages that have fixed sizes (like integers or floats), arbitrary-precision arithmetic can handle numbers that are much larger or more precise than those limits.
