"To how many decimal places does POV-Ray calculate" is the wrong 
question to ask. POV-Ray asks your CPU to do floating-point 
calculations, that's all. POV-Ray doesn't do numerical calculations in 
any different way than the rest of your computer.

Also, floating-point numbers don't even work in terms of "decimal places".

Use this:

#local i = 0;
#local numerator = 1;
#local divisor = 6;
#while(i < divisor)
  #local x = i*numerator/divisor;
  #debug concat("x = ", str(x, 0, -1),"\n")
  #local i = i + 1;
#end

and be done with it.
