5.65x12

Apparently, on this particular MacBook, if I use the Calculator application to perform the calculation: 5.65 * 12, I get the result 67.80000000000014 instead of 67.8. I eventually figured out that this is not a problem with Intel-based Macs specifically but with the fact that I set the precision to 16 digits of decimal instead of the standard 10 or 12. PowerPC computers gave the same results. What could be causing the bug?
