This is because calculators and computers can only compute to a finite number of decimal digits. Hence, the phenomenon known as round-off error. When you use this topic to integrate math and technology in your classroom, students will marvel at the way different calculators display different results when they experiment with fractions such as 2/3, 5/6 or 8/9.
