Answer 1

After every number, place #. It defines each number as a double. Think of it as, each number is placed in to memory for the calculation as sort of a temp variable. If you define each number, it will allow enough space for the calculations.

eg:

Dim x As Long

x = 24# * 60# * 60#

or 24& 'indicates long
