[Python] Why is python calculation with float numbers faster than calculation with integer...

This example shows that python calcuation with float numbers is faster than with integer numbers. I am wondering why calculation with integer is not faster than with float

import time
# Number of operations
N = 10**7

# Integer addition
start_time = time.time()
int_result = 0
for i in range(N):
int_result += 1
int_time = time.time() - start_time

# Float addition
start_time = time.time()
float_result = 0.0
for i in range(N):
float_result += 1.0
float_time = time.time() - start_time

print(f"Time taken for integer addition: {int_time:.6f} seconds")
print(f"Time taken for float addition: {float_time:.6f} seconds")
