; The number of significant digits displayed in floating point
numbers.
precision    =  14

This my php.ini precision config.

I make it 30 (and resart server) but nothing changed.

same server, same config ->

echo 60000000*(10.5);

output 6.3E+8

echo 6000000000000*10;

output 60000000000000

How can "60000000*(10.5)" need much precision than "6000000000000*10"?

Floating point values have a limited precision. Hence a value might 
not have the same string representation after any processing. That also
includes writing a floating point value in your script and directly 
printing it without any mathematical operations.

If you would like to know more about "floats" and what IEEE
754 is, read this:

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

echo round(60000000*(10.5));

output 6.3E+8 !!!

echo round(60000000*(10.5),2);

output 6.3E+8 !!!

echo round(70000000*(10.5));

output 7.35E+8 !!!
