Does Filemaker Automatically Truncate Numbers?

What is the setting to choose where Filemaker automatically truncates a number?  I am sure it is something silly that I am doing but I can't find an answer in a search anywhere.

 

I am converting a unit of time to the SI base unit SECONDS with a conversion factor and then to a different unit with 1/conversion factor (of the different unit's conversion factor).

 

I want to be able to control the precision of the calculation.

 

Example:  if I convert hours to seconds my factor is 3600 and then happen to convert back to hrs is 1/3600 or .0002777777777778.  What in Filemaker determines this many decimal places?

 

Thanks
