When using matlab multiple calculation, some errors happen
a = 7*13e-6;
b = 6*13e-6;
the answer is
a = 9.09999999999999999e-5
b = 7.80000000000000000e-5
erroe happened at a but not at b;
So how this error happen and how * works? On what condition the error happen?

Error?
>> a =13e-6
a =
1.300000000000000e-05
>> 7*a
ans =
9.099999999999999e-05

These are floating point calculations. Not every number can be represented, and this rounding error can compound when you do math with these imperfect numbers.
"Floating-point error arises because real numbers cannot, in general, be accurately represented in a fixed space."
