issue with java calculator logic

HI
I am having a piece of code which does a simple division operation on double values . For example
- 532/21 (25.33)
- 8,470.56/21 (403.35)
The same can be verified with the sample java calculator downloaded from java tutorials website . I would like to know why there is a change in behaviour as in case 2 it should come as 403.36 instead of 403.55
Regards
Arun

"...instead of 403.35"
Output depends on precision and scale used. The downloaded calculator could be using a different precision and scale. Refer https://dzone.com/articles/arbitrary-precision-numbers
