  The relation among reliable computation time, Tc, float-point precision, K,
and the Lyapunov exponent, {\lambda}, is obtained as Tc= (lnB/{\lambda})K+C,
where B is the base of the float-point system and C is a constant dependent
only on the chaotic equation. The equation shows good agreement with numerical
experimental results, especially the scale factors.
