This is the expected and correct behavior. Python's float are IEEE 754 floats, 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754. IEE 754 have a limited precision. 
224847175712806907706081280 / 4294967296 is not exactly dividable under IEEE 
754 semantics. 

>>> a=224847175712806907706081280
>>> b=4294967296
>>> a/b
5.235131264496755e+16
