Or, rather, that they round up the representation of 76.5999999999999 or somehow 
do the operation in another way so that the rounding error does not show up. 
 
Whether or not Math.round(766.6) becomes 766 is irrelevant. The result of 766 / 10 
is 76.6 or 76.59999999999 given the precision. 
 
For instance, when trying to print a number with that many decimal places, if it's 
shrunk to, say, 6, rounding would occur and 76.6 would be shown.
