Numbers have about 7 digits of precision. This means that numbers with 8 digits or more may begin to give slightly inaccurate results, e.g. when [[Add Numbers|adding]] numbers together. The margin of error is usually tiny, but gets larger the more digits you have. | Numbers have about 7 digits of precision.
