"Exactly" as a rejoinder means "correct", as a modifier it means "to a high degree of certainty". ("Yes, exactly." "He knew exactly what to do." ) Exactly in mathematics refers to absolute answers, the opposite of approximately. For example, 2.5 + 3.6 is approximately 6, but "exactly" 6.1 (to the same level of value).
