 Trivial divide calculations are showing rounding errors (tested in
 Calculate-33).

 89 / 100 = 0.890000000
 496 / 100 = 4.95999999

 Trying the same calculations in a terminal with python is fine 89 / 100 =
 0.89, and 496 / 100 = 4.96.

 If I try using multiply instead, the answers are accurate.

 89 * 0.01 = 0.89
 496 * 0.01 = 4.96
