Which is correct: 0.2/5000 is 0.00004 or 4 * 10^(-5). You get the same
result in other programs, e.g.
$ python -c 'print (0.2/5000)'
$ echo | awk '{print 0.2/5000}'
$ perl -e 'print 0.2/5000; print "\n"'
They probably all use the "%g" format of the printf(3) family:
,----
| g, G The double argument is converted in style f or e (or F or E
| for G conversions). The precision specifies the number of
| significant digits. If the precision is missing, 6 digits
| are given; if the precision is zero, it is treated as 1.
| Style e is used if the exponent from its conversion is less
| than -4 or greater than or equal to the precision.
