In computer arithmetic, due to the finite precision of floating-point representations, certain mathematical properties such as distributivity may not always hold. The distributive property states that for any real numbers $a$, $b$, and $c$, the equation $a \times (b + c) = a \times b + a \times c$ should always be true. However, in computer arithmetic, due to rounding errors and limited precision, this equality might not hold in all ______ _______ __________ ________ ________.
