wrong mulitplying
Could someone try to multiply in excel all odd numbers from 1 to 99. 1*3*5*7*9*....*97*99 The result should have the last digit 5, but excel say it is 0. This is wrong.
- Sep 15, 2022Excel has limited number of digits of precision. The answer appears to be 2.73E+78 so excel can't keep 79 digits of precision so yeah, it rounds off/ truncates the value.
