Default Why does last number of a 16 character number always change to 0?

When entering large numbers of approximately 16 characters or more into a
column, why does the last number automatically become a zero even when I type
a different number in?

15 digits is the limit.

15 signigificant digits. If you want to see all 16 format as text or precede
with ' (apostrophe)
