Why isn't it formatting the decimals properly? And apparently losing
some?

Because you can either work with large Numbers before point or after.
both doesn't work.
And on top of that, PHP works intern with double typed vars.
That's causing the problem here.
probably round() and number_format() will have better outcomes.
Test that :)
