css divide width 100% to 3 column

Question

I have a layout where I have 3 columns.

Therefore, I divide 100% by 3.

The result is obviously 33.333....

My goal is perfect

Answer 1

Using this fiddle, you can play around with the width of each div. I've tried in both Chrome and IE and I notice a difference in width between 33% and 33.3%. I also notice a very small difference between 33.3% and 33.33%. I don't notice any difference further than this.

The difference between 33.33% and the theoretical 33.333...% is a mere 0.00333...%.

For arguments sake, say my screen width is 1960px; a fairly high but common resolution. The difference between these two widths is still only 0.065333...px.

So, further than two decimal places, the difference in precision is negligible.
