Comment (by pbruin):

 This is using Maxima, which outputs floating numbers using the Lisp
 `format` function.  On ARM the commands (same which I used to get the
 above output on `x86_64`) and output look as follows:
 {{{
 pbruin@node3eth0:~/src/sage$ ./sage --maxima
 ...
 Maxima 5.29.1 http://maxima.sourceforge.net
 using Lisp ECL 12.12.1
 ...
 (%i1) maxfpprintprec: 100;
 (%o1)                                 100
 (%i2) for i: -4 thru 9 do print(10^i/3.0);
