8087 numeric data processor is also known as Math co-processor, Numeric processor extension and Floating point unit. It was the first math coprocessor designed by Intel to pair with 8086/8088 resulting in easier and faster calculation.
Once the instructions are identified by the 8086/8088 processor, then it is allotted to the 8087 co-processor for further execution.
The data types supported by 8087 are −
- Binary Integers
- Packed decimal numbers
- Real numbers
- Temporary real format
