# Script reproducing the problem:
$raw_result = (14056567/(14056567/100));
# the line below will generate error, too
# $raw_result = (140565637/(140565637/100));

$round = floor($raw_result);
echo "Raw result: $raw_result\nRounded: $round\n";


# Tested with two different PHP builds:

When using floor to round a result of a division of some specific numbers,
it rounds down a integer number.
In a division like the one below, it rounds 100 to 99. But, if you change
14056567 to another number, it will probably work fine, except when using
some numbers like 140565637.

# Script reproducing the problem:
$raw_result = (14056567/(14056567/100));
# the line below will generate error, too
# $raw_result = (140565637/(140565637/100));

$round = floor($raw_result);
echo "Raw result: $raw_result\nRounded: $round\n";

# Tested with two different PHP builds:
# --with-apxs --with-mysql --enable-ftp
# and --with-mysql --enable-ftp

This is expected result. 100 is the same as 99.9999999999(9) in floats. Try it in any other language, like Perl or C, you get the same.
