You need to format the cells to show sufficient numbers of Decimal places.

Select the cells, then choose Format>Cell>Number... And choose the number of
decimal places you want to see.

Another possibility...

Check Excel> Preferences> Edit to make sure you don't have the box checked
for "Display this number of decimal places". It will have a similar effect
on the appearance but actually affects the values.

That won't stop rounding. It will just change the number of significant
digits. You need to take the integer value INT().
