Floating point values have a limited precision. Hence a value might 
not have the same string representation after any processing. That also
includes writing a floating point value in your script and directly 
printing it without any mathematical operations.

If you would like to know more about "floats" and what IEEE
754 is, read this:

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

But... Here not have float numbers. Is a Integer.
And is not necesary a Mathematical operation in this function (number_format)

9999999999999999999 is beyond the maximum value an integer variable can hold in 
PHP, and is automatically converted to a floating point value.
