I get the approximation:
>> 729 / 4^3
11.391
Is there some function to get more precise approximation?

Update:
octave:1> 729/4^3
ans = 11.391
octave:2> format long
octave:3> 729/4^3
ans = 11.3906250000000
octave:4>
Have you tried the "format long" command?
I'm installing octave right now. I used to use it and Matlab while I was in college.

So it is not possible to specify the accuracy, eg to 128 decimals? – Léo Léopold Hertz 준영 – 2009-10-08T22:38:05.943
