Issue #19321 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans). Status changed from Open to Closed The old result was incorrect. The new, correct result is due to a bug fix. I'm going to close this. If you can find a result that is incorrect in Ruby 3.1 or 3.2, please post it. ---------------------------------------- Bug #19321: BigDecimal multiplication giving different result since Ruby 3.1 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19321#change-101108 * Author: alexandruanca (Alexandru Anca) * Status: Closed * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: 3.1.3 * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I have this math operation 120.to_d * 0.07 and I noticed that since upgrading to Ruby 3.1 I get different results.
