Dividing AbsoluteSize together in a script gives inaccurate results

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!

Currently, I am trying to make a plugin that creates UIAspectRatioContraints for me as they are annoying to make. I am trying to divide the AbsoluteSize X and Y.

  1. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!

The division is inaccurate and I do not understand why. Currently, dividing the absolute size together gets me an Aspect Ratio of “5.801” on a UI button, but manually dividing it in Windows Calculator gives me a Aspect Ratio of “5.743”

  1. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?

I don’t even know what solutions I would use as this is so simple. Yes, I have searched on the Dev forum.

Here is my code.

local bar = plugin:CreateToolbar("Create UI Contraint")

local button = bar:CreateButton(
	"Add Contraint",
	"Adds a UIAspectRatio Contraint",
	"http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=14413281342"
)

local function main()
	local Selection = game:GetService("Selection")
	for _, object in pairs(Selection:Get()) do
		if object:IsA("GuiObject") then
			if object.Size.X.Offset == 0 or object.Size.Y.Offset == 0 then
				local contraint = Instance.new("UIAspectRatioConstraint")
				contraint.AspectRatio = object.AbsoluteSize.X / object.AbsoluteSize.Y
                contraint.AspectType = Enum.AspectType.FitWithinMaxSize
                contraint.DominantAxis = Enum.DominantAxis.Width
				contraint.Parent = object
				print("Created contraint!")
			else
				error("You are using offset for size instead of scale!")
			end
		else
			error("Please select a GuiObject!")
		end
	end
end

button.Click:Connect(main)
