This is a floating point issue, not a bug. Floats inherently only have a limited precision available, so they are not always the exact number you think they are.

Using 1e9 forces the result to be a float, which introduces rounding errors into the calculation. If you use an exact integer, the calculation is exact:


py> 151476660579404160000-151476660579404160000//1000000007 * (10**9+7)
67543367
py> 151476660579404160000 % (10**9+7)
67543367


*This is not a Python bug* this is an inherent limitation of floating point numbers and the same issues will occur in any language that uses floats.
