int(10000000000000000000000000000000000/10**10) It should return the exact value like 10000000000000000000000, but the returned value is 999999999999999983222784. What is the reason behind it??

2In python 3 you have to use `//` to do integer division. Try `int(10000000000000000000000000000000000//10**10)` – Nick May 25 '20 at 03:28

The floating point division operator (/) produces an inexact result. Converting it to an int after the fact doesn't fix that.
If you use the integer division operator (//) you get an exact integer result:
>>> 10000000000000000000000000000000000//10**10
1000000000000000000000000
