another point is: does the Windows calculator compute the right value?
You can have a greater precision by performing two divisions:
(a + b)/c = a/c + b/c
each having no underflow.
then :
55568095557812224 = 55568095557812200 + 24
-->155568095557812200/17
ans =
9151064444577188.
-->24/17
ans =
1.4117647058823530326066
so we can guess that
55568095557812224/17 = 9151064444577189.4117647...
so the Windows calculator gives a result, but it is false at the first
decimal...
Now: do you really need to have a precision of more than 16 digits?
This might be the case, especially if the error propagates.
In my field, I'm usually happy with 4 digits ;-)
