Hello,
I am using LibreOffice Calc for calculating numbers in recurrence relations and finding their residues through modular arithmetic. I am finding that the results produced by LibreOffice Calc are erroneous. I would like to find out what causes this error and how it can be fixed.
For forming the numbers of the recurrence relation, I manually type in two numbers to serve as the seeds. These numbers are typed into row 1 & 2, column A. The rest of these integers are calculated by using the formula A3=A1+A2 then autofilling for every subsequent row. The residue is calculated using B3=MOD(A3,360) and again autofilling the rest of the entries. Everything is fine until row 75 where I have the number 1304969544928660. The two numbers in row 73 & 74 are 498454011879264 & 806515533049393. The next number should be 1304969544928657, why does LibreOffice Calc produce 1304969544928660 instead?
Thank you,
Manas
