It's 8.0000000729, which approximates to 8. Why do you think it doesn't?

Probably didn't notice it doesn't say "equals". It's easy to overlook the wavy part.

Oh, yup! I totally missed the approximately sign.

Do you work in a field where 7*10^-8^ differences matter? Cause most fields I know don't mind an error margin that small (granted I don't know a lot)
