By default, python stores a decimal as `float`, a 64-bit floating-point number. Though this theoretically achieves a value range of about 2.2e-308 ~ 1.8e+308, the precision is much worse due to how decimals are stored in `float`: it uses base 2 (binary) fractions. For example, 1/2 is 0.1, and 1/8 is 0.001. Just like we will eventually hit a precision limit when trying to store 1/3 in a base 10 fraction as 0.3333..., not all numbers within the range value of `float` can be represented exactly: 1/10 in base 2 would become a repeating 0.00011001100.... Therefore, when your input are as small as 1e-15, such errors become significant to the result and cause the difference from the actual derivative.
To solve this problem, you can use the `decimal` module of python which provides exactly represented decimal numbers. An example is as follows:

```python
from decimal import Decimal, getcontext

#set the precision of the decimal. Default is 28
getcontext().prec = 26

#Convert other variables to Decimal. However, float would bring in the precision problem
a = Decimal("1.2375")  #Decimal('1.2375')
b = Decimal(1)/Decimal(7) #Decimal('0.14285714285714285714285714')
c = Decimal(6.325) #Decimal('6.32500000000000017763568394')
```

Note that the precision of `decimal` is limited by the precision of the computer. The precision of `float` is also limited by the precision of the computer, but the precision of `decimal` is limited by the precision of the computer and the precision of the decimal number itself. For example, if the precision of the computer is 26, then the precision of `decimal` will be 26. However, if the decimal number is 1/7, then the precision of `decimal` will be 26 - 2 = 24, because 1/7 cannot be represented exactly in base 10.

In general, you should use `decimal` when you need to work with decimal numbers that have a high precision, such as when working with financial data or scientific calculations. However, if you are working with numbers that do not require a high precision, then `float` will be sufficient.

Here is an example of how to use `decimal` to calculate the derivative of a function:

```python
from decimal import Decimal, getcontext

#set the precision of the decimal. Default is 28
getcontext().prec = 26

#Convert other variables to Decimal. However, float would bring in the precision problem
a = Decimal("1.2375")  #Decimal('1.2375')
b = Decimal(1)/Decimal(7) #Decimal('0.14285714285714285714285714')
c = Decimal(6.325) #Decimal('6.32500000000000017763568394')

#Calculate the derivative of the function
derivative = (a * b * c) - (a * b * c)

#Print the result
print(derivative)
```

In this example, we set the precision of the decimal to 26, and then convert the variables `a`, `b`, and `c` to `Decimal` objects. We then calculate the derivative of the function and print the result.

The `getcontext().prec` is the precision of the decimal. The default is 28, which is enough for most cases. However, if you need more precision, you can set it to a higher value.

```python
getcontext().prec = 50
```

The `Decimal` constructor can take a string, a float, or an integer. If you pass a float or an integer, it will be converted to a decimal.

```python
a = Decimal(1.2375) #Decimal('1.2375')
b = Decimal(1)/Decimal(7) #Decimal('0.14285714285714285714285714')
c = Decimal(6.325) #Decimal('6.32500000000000017763568394')
```

The `Decimal` constructor can also take a string. If the string is not a valid decimal, it will raise a `ValueError`.

```python
a = Decimal("1.2375") #Decimal('1.2375')
b = Decimal("1/7") #Decimal('0.14285714285714285714285714')
c = Decimal("6.325") #Decimal('6.32500000000000017763568394')
```

The `Decimal` constructor can also take a float or an integer. If the float or integer is not a valid decimal, it will raise a `ValueError`.

```python
a = Decimal(1.2375) #Decimal('1.2375')
b = Decimal(1)/Decimal(7) #Decimal('0.14285714285714285714285714')
c = Decimal(6.325) #Decimal('6.3250000000000001776356
