javascript division giving wrong answer?
javascript
Solution
For the same reason that
0.1 * 0.2 //0.020000000000000004
Some decimal numbers can't be represented in IEEE 754, the mathematical representation used by JavaScript. If you want to perform arithmetic with these numbers in your question, it would be better to multiply them until they are whole numbers first, and then divide them.
Problem
alert(5.30/0.1); This gives `52.99999999999999` but should be `53`. Can anybody tell how and why? I want to find that a number is divisible by a given number. Note that one of the number may be a float.
