Internally, `rippled` represents numbers for issued currencies in a custom number format. This format can store a wide variety of assets, including those typically measured in very small or very large denominations. This format uses significant digits and a power-of-ten exponent in a similar way to scientific notation. The format supports positive and negative significant digits and exponents within the specified range. Unlike typical floating-point representations of non-whole numbers, this format uses integer math for all calculations, so it always maintains 15 decimal digits of precision. The internal calculations generally use integer math so that numbers are always precise within 15 digits. Multiplication and division have adjustments to compensate for over-rounding in the least significant digits.

Unlike "arbitrary precision" number formats, the custom format can be stored in a fixed size of 64 bits. When serialized this way, the format consists of a "not XRP" bit, a sign bit, significant digits, and an exponent. They are present in order:
