Possible Duplicates:
Why does 99.99 / 100 = 0.9998999999999999
Dealing with accuracy problems in floating-point numbers

I’ve seen this issue in php and javascript. I have this number: float 0.699

if I do this:
0.699 x 100 = 69.89999999999999

why?

edit

round(0.699 x 10, 2): float 69.90000000000001

    Floating point arithmetic is not exact.

    See Floating point on Wikipedia for a deeper discussion of the problem.
