For a simple explanation, you may check out this Python documentation.
For a deep treatment on the subject, definitely take a look at this paper What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic, it's the most widely cited paper on the topic of Floating Point Arithmetic, and is the required reading for every undergraduate CS students in my college.
