QC uses doubles (64 bit floats - 53 bits of fraction, 10 bits of exponent, and
1 sign bit). However, floats don't really map to a "maximum fraction digits"
sort of model; doubles, for example, support roughly 15-17 decimal digits of
precision about a ~3-digit exponent (-4.9 x 10^-324 is the smallest iirc - so
approximately 324+15 = 339 "fraction digits"). You're correct in that it'd
just round (QC probably wouldn't round - the slider or number formatter would,
or the screen would, since there aren't enough pixels to let you pick all the
in-between values).
