There are no known ways of doing infinite precision math operations,
except for a very restricted subset of numbers. Every machine which man
has ever built, or thought of building, has only a finite number of
states. It may be that all physically realizable machines have only a
finite number of states, due to the laws of physics. In any case, no
machine built to date has the capability of even representing all
integers, let alone operating on them.
