If I multiply 213458046676875 * 29, I get 6190283353629370 instead of 6190283353629375.
How do I prevent excel from doing this. I tried formatting its number format too.
Thank you.

Hi,
Excel therefore stores only 15 significant digits in a number, and changes digits after the fifteenth place to zeroes.
as far as i know this is a function of excel
only works to 15 digits of precision
