- **[integer](int.md)**: Integer values, most common, usually using direct or [two's complement](twos_complement.md) representation.
- **fractional**: Have higher precision than integers, allow storing fractions, are often used to [approximate](approximation.md) real numbers.
- **[fixed point](fixed_point.md)**: Are represented by a number with radix point in fixed place, have uniform precision.
- **[floating point](float.md)**: Have movable radix point which is more [complicated](bloat.md) but allows for representing both very high and very small values due to non-uniform precision.
- **[floating point](float.md)**: Have movable radix point which is more [complicated](bloat.md) but allows for representing both very high and very small values due to non-uniform precision. Here again it's also important to choose the right representation, most notable ones include for IEEE 754 and [posits](posit.md).

- **[complex](complex_number.md)**: Analogous to mathematical complex numbers.
- **[quaternion](quaternion.md)**: Analogous to mathematical quaternions.
- **symbolic**: Used in some specialized mathematical software to perform symbolic computation, i.e. computation done in a human-like way, by manipulating symbols without using concrete values that would have to resort to approximation.
