Well this is a major problem for Microsoft. They released a program with a major bug that would give errors when performing simple calculations.

…for example, it divided 65,535 by 26 to get 2,520.577. Then it multiplied 26 by 2,520.577 to get… 100,000?! Over ten thousand of these simple calculations gave the wrong answer. – AppScout
