    Excel Error in Basic Calculation

    If you enter

    1,793,413.16 in cell A1
    1,793,735.11 in cell A2

    Then in cell A3 type the formula =A1-A2 the answer is

    -321.950000000186

    Can anyone explain why it has the decimals at the end I can not figure this out.

    Im using Excel 2007.
