You are seeing the effect of the preference setting for the
PrintPrecision display option. All of the digits can be seen by
controlling the display (or changing the preference).
x = {ToExpression["109266.75"], Pi//N}
{109267.,3.14159}
x//InputForm
{109266.75, 3.141592653589793}
x//FullForm
List[109266.75`,3.141592653589793`]
NumberForm[x,8]
{109266.75,3.1415927}
