Not related but your numbers aren't the same anyway, decimal or not. Look closely at the number order for variable a. – JD2775 Apr 06 '21 at 17:33

Because python’s float (like in any other language) have a limit in precision, and you’ve reached it. On contrary, python’s integer type is of arbitrary precision, meaning that you’ll never reach its limit.
