[issue23413] Incorrect division result

[Martynas Brijunas]

New submission from Martynas Brijunas:

Dear Python team,

when dividing 3 by 7, I expect to get the following result:

0.428571428571428571428571428571428571428571428571428571428571...

What I am getting in the Python interpreter is this:

>>> 3 / 7
0.42857142857142855

Which in my opinion is incorrect.
