I think a lot of financial institutions used BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) because
it is accurate without round off like floating point.

I tried to create a Spreadsheet to reproduce this but failed.
(it returned double = 0.1066913)
Could you share an example.xslsx with us to demonstrate the behaviour?
All the best,

We face some
What we IBM Mainframers call "packed decimal".
Rounding is still an issue: try dividing 2 by 3.
