ULP unit of least precision

Viewed 4515

Can anyone explain ULP Unit of least precision? I have the following definition, but it is still not clear

"The size of the error when representing fractions is proportional to the size of the number stored. The ULP or unit of least precision defines the maximum error you can get when storing a number. The bigger the number stored the bigger the ULP."

What does it mean exactly? Thanks in advance
