The following remainder calculations are a bit surprising to me, as I’d expect to get a remainder of 0 (or something like ~1e-18) in each case. I guess there is some floating point issue: julia> rem(500,0.625) 0.0 julia> rem(50,0.0625) 0.0 julia> rem(5,0.00625) 0.006249999999999723 julia> rem(…

[image] _bernhard: This is exactly what happens in your example - the divisor (and dividend) is rounded to the nearest float In particular, 0.00625 is not exactly representable in binary floating point, so it is rounded to a slightly larger value: julia> big(0.00625) 0.0062500000000000003469…
