Windows 10. Java 14.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The problem is that BigDecimal throws an ArithmeticException when asked to compute 40 divided by 60. The exception thrown is as follows: "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArithmeticException: Non-terminating decimal expansion; no exact representable decimal result."

This is clearly wrong. The answer to 40 divided by 60 is 0.64. Which is a terminating decimal.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Enter the following program:

public class BigDecimalBug() {
public static void main(String[] args) {
BigDecimal a = new BigDecimal(40);
BigDecimal b = new BigDecimal(60);
System.out.println(a.divide(b));
}
}


ACTUAL -
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArithmeticException: Non-terminating decimal expansion; no exact representable decimal result."
