Javascript Math results not correct

I'm working with Javascript and noticing it return some weird values.

12194 / (10^8)

121945000000 / (10^8)

Am I doing something wrong here or is this an issue with Javascript numbers?

^ is the XOR operator in javascript. Refer to Bitwise XOR

You should use either Math.pow() or **

console.log(12194 / Math.pow(10, 8))
console.log(121945000000 / Math.pow(10, 8))

console.log(12194 / (10 ** 8))
console.log(121945000000 / (10 ** 8))

You can't use the ^ in JavaScript for equations.

Instead, you can use 12194 / Math.pow(10, 8)
