Can I use .63 as a em unit in my css?

I have never seen this before. I have a nav bar that when I divide the answer is 0.625, I round up to 0.63. I'm just curious if this is okay? I did add 0.63 and everything looks okay.Thanks in advance for the answers.

I don't see why not. The 'em' is only relative to whatever the font size is set to already, which is why it's a lot easier to work with the smaller two digit numbers. i would assume that keeping things simpler will save you a headache when you have to control a multitude of elements. So aesthetically, .005 is not really going to make a difference. Technically, it should work anyways.
