I was analyzing stock using copilot very basic level but figured out calculation mistake, please see below

Question

I attached screen print, please refer to highlighted section where calculation mistakes are highlighted.

1,00,000 / 750 = 1,360 where as it has to be 136 approx

and 50,000 / 750 = 67 whereas has to be 68 approx.

Answer 1

The highlighted result is incorrect.

Correct values:

• 100,000 / 735 ≈ 136.05 shares, so about 136 shares
• 50,000 / 735 ≈ 68.03 shares, so about 68 shares

This aligns with the guidance that AI-generated results can be incorrect for numerical calculations. For calculations that require accuracy or reproducibility, use native Excel formulas instead of relying on Copilot-generated math.

If the goal is to verify this in Excel, use:

• Exact result: =100000/735
• Rounded to nearest whole share: =ROUND(100000/735,0)
• For 50,000: =ROUND(50000/735,0)

Also note that Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat can pull public stock data from the web, but the calculation still should be validated when precision matters.
