Since your calculator can only display 8 significant figures, there is no way of telling what the 20th digit is. That number may have been previously "thrown out" following a rounding-off step.

If that number appeared as a result of a previous calculation, try multiplying your displayed number by 1E20 and subtracting
1.8984375 from the answer. You might get the next 8 numbers to the right of "5".
