Hi, guys! Maybe you have an explanation on this one?
I'm computing 4000/3*6 in both physical calculator and in Excel but I get different values.
Excel shows it as 8000 but in my calculator, it shows 7999.999999999

Excel is correct since 4000/3*6 is the same as 4000*6/3 which is 4000*2
I suspect your calculator is losing precision after the first step since the result is a recurring decimal.
