    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_number

    A round number is mathematically defined as an integer which is the product of a considerable number of comparatively small factors [12] [13] as compared to its neighboring numbers, such as 24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 (4 factors, as opposed to 3 factors for 27; 2 factors for 21, 22, 25, and 26; and 1 factor for 23).

    (exact number so infinite significant digits) + 0.477 1 212547... = 4.477 1 212547 ≈ 4.4771. When taking the antilogarithm of a normalized number, the result is rounded to have as many significant figures as the significant figures in the decimal part of the number to be antiloged. 10 4.4771 = 299 9 8.5318119... = 30000 = 3.000 × 10 4.

    Excel maintains 15 figures in its numbers, but they are not always accurate; mathematically, the bottom line should be the same as the top line, in 'fp-math' the step '1 + 1/9000' leads to a rounding up as the first bit of the 14 bit tail '10111000110010' of the mantissa falling off the table when adding 1 is a '1', this up-rounding is not undone when subtracting the 1 again, since there is no ...
