Here's the obligatory link: What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic

Basically, there are many base 10 numbers that cannot be exactly represented in the floating point format used by most computers, so you'll get issues like the ones you highlight.

If you can't stay awake for What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic, try instead the javascript-specific Rounding in JavaScript.

Floating point numbers have a finite amount of precision, as the number is stored in a finite number of bits.

The number you are trying to store can't be stored accurately, so an approximation is used.
