It's because you are losing resolution with using a Single. Use a Double if you want to capture more data.

The Single devotes less bits to the fractional portion of the floating point number, than a Double would. Your number is at the limit of what a Single can represent.

 

with double still have error

 

with double still have error

How are you verifying the value?

 

Dim a as double
A= 12345.12345
Dim y as string*20
Y= str (a)
LCD y
Output:
E3u if i Dnt mistake
