A calculator can olny display a certain number a characters, so it rounds the last digit. If the next digit is going to be 5 or greater it, rounds the last digit displayed up. When you add a bunch of repeating decimals that were calculated using a calulator, you sometimes will get rounding error on the last digit or two compared to when you just do the division. Your repeating digit answers are correct. The ones with a different last didgit are due to rounding error on the calculator. Nothing you can do about it.
