I have a value 9.88 , I use the div to do an operation

Pseudo code:
var num = 9.88
var result = $num div 100
I expect 0.0988 .. I get 0.09880000000000001

I am using Saxon-EE-9.5.1-5.jar

What is happening?

If you use

<xsl:variable name="$num" as="xs:decimal" select="9.88"/>

and then do

$num div 100

the problem should not occur. I suspect you use an xs:double instead, depending on your real code.
