Doubles simply don't have enough accuracy for this application. It's not a problem with the displaying of the value; it's a problem with how a double is actually stored and how it's inherently approximate.

Based on the example given, you might want to take a look a the BigInteger Structure.

decimal might also be worth looking at.
