title: Big Numbers handling in groovy + Jmeter + java
body: <p>I have a question about big numbers in groovy, I write at script that call to DB and put budget value in variable called toub_start_budget, the value stored is 2570000000.
  since I want to do arithmetic operation I created another variable called toub_budget and put in it the value of the first variable as float.
  The problem is that the new variable not saved the data as float but as a number as 2.56999987E9.
  and the arithmetic that I do are wrong, for example divide by 1000000, will bring 2569.9  and not the accurate results 2570 (accuracy is important). 
  can someone please advise how to handle big numbers, with arithmetic?
  regards</p>
