Divide function not working as expected

Hi All,

Needed help here

I was trying to divide  2 measures using the divide function in power bi . But the values in one of the scenario is something like this (0.0,0.0) but the result of it is not zero but  a value which is not excepted as a result.

 

Thanks in Advance.
