This is the expected and correct behavior. Python's float are IEEE 754 floats, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754. IEE 754 have a limited precision. 224847175712806907706081280 / 4294967296 is not exactly dividable under IEEE 754 semantics. >>> a=224847175712806907706081280 >>> b=4294967296 >>> a/b 5.235131264496755e+16 |
