Technically, it is possible for floating-point Inf to stop propagating prior to the final result, depending on the operation. For example, 1/Inf produces zero,

Technically, it is possible for floating-point Inf to stop propagating prior to the final result, depending on the operation. For example, 1/Inf produces zero, as does exp(-Inf). But those are cases where the larger a value is, the less is contributes to the final value.
