It depends. (the answer to every computer-related question!)

It depends on how much memory the operating system uses to store floating-point numbers.

The limit depends on the hardware, the operating system and the language used. The Python language, for example, can work with unlimited precision (limited by the memory of your computer; you could get a REALLY big number in there) just not very fast.
