"Precision is the number of digits in a number." 
"Scale is the number of digits to the right of the decimal point in a number" 
Precision of 10 should store numbers with max 10 digits:1234567890 
Precision of 10 and Scale of 5 should store 
12345.12345 
The interesting fact is that these rules behave differently on shapefiles(dbf) and Geodatabases and some times the results are strange. 
For example: 
- a field defined as Long with precision of 10 on GDB will not accept a value of 12345678901 (correct), on a shapefile(dbf) it will be calculated to 1230000000. 
- field defined as Double with precision of 10 and scale of 5 will convert 123456.12345 to 123500 on a dbf file and will be accepted if the table is in a GDB. In fact the same field in a GDB will accept 1234567890.12345 !!! 

Another interesting fact is that a field defined in ArcCatalog as Double with Precision of 10 and Scale of 5 will be reported in ArcMap as follows: 
- if the table is DBF - correctly 
- if the table is in a personal GDB - precision of 0 and scale of 0
