Abstract: We discuss the approximability of locally compact groups by finite semigroups and finite quasigroups (latin squares). We show that if a locally compact group $G$ is approximable by finite semigroups, then it is approximable by finite groups, and thus many important groups are not approximable by finite semigroups. This result implies, in particular, the impossibility to simulate the field of reals in computers by finite associative rings. We show that a locally compact group is approximable by finite quasigroups iff it is unimodular.
