Hi Rachel
Hummm I uploaded the screen shots in the original request. I am pretty sure now it is a shape file issue - I exported the file to a gdb and the Field calculator reworked it fine. . Just wondered why -Students were asking and I was clueless.
It is good to show them that confirming calculations is important.

Hello Lynn,
Could you provide a few numerical examples to your results? What are the values in fields A, B, C, and D?
Do you see this in all datasets?
What software are you using?
If you try a new ArcMap map document or ArcGIS Pro project (assuming you're using these), do you see different behavior?
Thank you!
