a small problem with linspace

a =
    11981420                    % length of an audio which i need
>> g=linspace(1,200,5);         % what we all know about linspace command
>> length(g)==5
ans =
     1
>> s=linspace(1,0,a/40);        % s should have a/40 element
>> length(s)==a/40        
ans =
     0                          % but , why false??! ,

11981420 is not divisible by 40.

11981420/40
ans =
   2.9954e+05 % = 299535.5

size(s)
ans =
    1      299535
    
299535 == 299535.5
ans =
  logical
   0
