hi ranchers.
I am trying to multiply a large number 999999999999999.99 with some other number say 2.0 but it is strange it not giving correct result.
Is there someone who have faced this problem and have found some solution.
Thanx

It is due to the IEEE 64 bit standard that will cause numbers to be calculated wrong. Is there a way to fix it? No.
