They are equal to each other.


Answer:
It is a question of whether the numbers have been truncated or rounded and the precision of the data. Assuming both numbers are handled in a similar fashion in any one case:

  • If absolutely precise 0.01 is 0.01 followed by any number of zeros and 0.010 is 0.010 followed by any number of zeros. So the numbers are the same
  • If truncated 0.01 can be any number up to just less than 0.02 and 0.010 can be any number up to slightly less than 0.011. So 0.01 is potentially larger
  • If rounded 0.01 can be any number over 0.005 up to just less than 0.015 and 0.010 can be any number over 0.095 up to slightly less than 0.0105. So 0.01 is potentially larger or smaller than 0.010.

Well, honey, technically 0.010 is greater because it has an extra zero at the end, making it one hundredth compared to 0.01 which is just one hundredth. So, if you wanna get technical, 0.010 takes the cake in this scenario. But hey, at the end of the day, they're both just tiny little numbers playing in the big math game.
