[issue36151] Incorrect answer when calculating 11/3

This has nothing to do with IDLE and everything to do with how floating point numbers work; have a read through https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/floatingpoint.html for an introduction to floating point.  If you need exact decimal math, use the `decimal` module instead.
