British English use commas as decimal point instead of period character.
Phillipine English maybe the same way in treating decinal point char. try US
english and try the same division problem. That could solve the math error.

Status in gcalctool - Desktop Calculator for Gnome: Fix Released

Bug description:
Binary package hint: gcalctool
I'm using Dapper 64-bit with English (Philippines) as default language.
I tried to divide 36,727 by 500 and got an unexpected 0.073454. It treated
the comma as a decimal point instead of a thousands separator.
If you're wondering how I managed to input a comma, I simply pasted the
value from memory (ie. a cell value from a spreadsheet, in this case,
gnumeric)
Another weird behaviour I noticed it that it also accepts text values pasted
from memory.
