Acabo de encontrar una situación similar y me sorprendieron los problemas de redondeo de 'números muy grandes' presentados en SSMS v17.9.1 / SQL 2017.
No estoy sugiriendo que tenga una solución, sin embargo, he observado que FORMAT presenta un número que parece correcto. No puedo dar a entender que esto reduce más problemas de redondeo o es útil dentro de una función matemática complicada.
Se suministró un código SQL que debe demostrar claramente mis observaciones al tiempo que permite a otros probar su código e ideas en caso de necesidad.
WITH Units AS
(
SELECT 1.0 AS [RaisedPower] , 'Ten' As UnitDescription
UNION ALL
SELECT 2.0 AS [RaisedPower] , 'Hundred' As UnitDescription
UNION ALL
SELECT 3.0 AS [RaisedPower] , 'Thousand' As UnitDescription
UNION ALL
SELECT 6.0 AS [RaisedPower] , 'Million' As UnitDescription
UNION ALL
SELECT 9.0 AS [RaisedPower] , 'Billion' As UnitDescription
UNION ALL
SELECT 12.0 AS [RaisedPower] , 'Trillion' As UnitDescription
UNION ALL
SELECT 15.0 AS [RaisedPower] , 'Quadrillion' As UnitDescription
UNION ALL
SELECT 18.0 AS [RaisedPower] , 'Quintillion' As UnitDescription
UNION ALL
SELECT 21.0 AS [RaisedPower] , 'Sextillion' As UnitDescription

)
SELECT UnitDescription
, POWER( CAST(10.0 AS FLOAT(53)) , [RaisedPower] ) AS ReturnsFloat
, CAST( POWER( CAST(10.0 AS FLOAT(53)) , [RaisedPower] ) AS NUMERIC (38,0) ) AS RoundingIssues
, STR( CAST( POWER( CAST(10.0 AS FLOAT(53)) , [RaisedPower] ) AS NUMERIC (38,0) ) , CAST([RaisedPower] AS INT) + 2, 0) AS LessRoundingIssues
, FORMAT( POWER( CAST(10.0 AS FLOAT(53)) , [RaisedPower] ) , '0') AS NicelyFormatted
FROM Units
ORDER BY [RaisedPower]
cast(float_field as varchar(max))
de lo contrario no tengo la pregunta
