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.
- Excel 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.
