Take a look at the IEEE double precision
representation...
http://www.math.grin.edu/~stone/cour...EEE-reals.html
The greatest number that has an exact IEEE single-precision representation is
340282346638528859811704183484516925440.0 (2^128 - 2^104)
The greatest real number that can be represented
exactly as a double-precision real
is 2^1024 - 2^971, and
the least positive real that can be so
represented is 2^-1074

Description
The and functions return the exponential function of x for double and float data types, respectively.
The and functions return exp(x-1 accurately, including tiny x for double and float data types, respectively.
The and functions return the natural logarithm of x for double and float data types, respectively.
The and functions return the logarithm of x to base 10 for double and float data types, respectively.
The and functions return log(1+x) accurately, including tiny x for double and float data types, respectively.
The function returns x**y.
Error (due to roundoff)
The and functions are accurate to within an ulp, and is accurate to within approximately 2 ulps; an ulp is one Unit in the Last Place.
The function is accurate to within 2 ulps when its magnitude is moderate, but becomes less accurate as the result approaches the overflow
or underflow thresholds. Theoretically, as these thresholds are approached, almost as many bits could be lost from the result as are indi-
cated in the exponent field of the floating-point format for the resultant number. In other words, up to 11 bits for an IEEE 754 double-
precision floating-point number. However, testing has never verified loss of precision as drastic as 11 bits. The worst cases have shown
accuracy of results to within 300 ulps for IEEE 754 double-precision floating-point numbers. In general, a (integer, integer) result is
exact until it is larger than 2**53 (for IEEE 754 double-precision floating-point).
Return Values
All of the double precision functions return NaN if x or y is NaN.
The function returns HUGE_VAL when the correct value would overflow, and zero when the correct value would underflow.
The and functions return NaN when x is less than or equal to zero or when the correct value would overflow.
The function returns NaN if x or y is NaN. When both x and y are zero, 1.0 is returned. When x is negative and y is not an integer, NaN
is returned. If x is zero and y is negative, -HUGE_VAL is returned.
The function returns NaN when x is negative.
