Google calculator has arithmetic problems
In the built-in calculator on Google.com, problems with the simplest mathematical calculations were discovered. Errors have an inexplicable nature, they are really strange and appear only on very large numbers. For example, if 500 000 000 000 001 is deducted from 500 000 000 000 002, the result should be 1, but Google shows zero.
Experienced it was possible to establish that the problems with this operation at the calculator begin after 333 trillion. That is, everything is still normal at 333 trillion, but an incorrect result is already shown at 334 trillion when subtracting.

There are other oddities. For example, if we slightly correct the above example, and from 500 000 000 000 008 subtract 500 000 000 000 003, then the result is correct: this is 5.
All this is very strange, given the highest class of Google programmers and a particular love of mathematics, which permeates the entire corporate culture of the company. Google’s name comes from a mathematical term. The number of shares during the IPO corresponded to the constant “e”, etc. We all know that they are obsessed with mathematics, and therefore they should be particularly ashamed now.
The company has officially recognized the problems with the calculator, but still can not figure out the reason for the abnormal calculations. At the moment, the calculator continues to work incorrectly.
