Votes are always natural numbers. There are no fractions of votes.
For 10,058,774 votes, you need 10-⁷ accuracy. That way you can see the smallest number of votes: i.e. one vote
Dividing the vote by 7 orders of magnitude is the same as subdividing each percentage point to 5
As I have already shown in this thread, the match is exact to the nearest vote. It couldn't be closer without chopping voters into bits.
Ask yourself this question: if there are 10,058,774 votes, how many votes is 51.2% of that? No fractions allowed.
Honestly if you don't get it by now I can't explain any more
