Error in reading Analogue voltages in PIC16F877a's ADC

[bilal shareef]

Hello everybody,
I am trying to measure the analogue voltages from 0 to 5 VDC from PIC16f877a's ADC but i am getting some error in the voltage.

For example: When the in put voltage is to the ADC is 2.33V the controller reads 2.43V. Whats the issue please help.

#include <16f877a.h>
#DEVICE ADC=10
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=20000000)
#include <flex_lcd.c>
#include <math.h>

void main()
{
//Initialize and Configure ADC
setup_adc_ports( ALL_ANALOG );
setup_adc(ADC_CLOCK_INTERNAL );
set_adc_channel( 0 );
lcd_init();
printf(lcd_putc,"\fHELLO WORLD");
delay_ms(100);

while(true)
{

set_adc_channel( 0 );
delay_ms(10);
for (a=0;a<5000;a++)
{
//Read ADC Value
value1 = read_adc();
if (value1>value2)
{value2=value1;}
}

set_adc_channel( 2 );
delay_ms(10);
for (a=0;a<5000;a++)
{
//Read ADC Value
value3 = read_adc();
if (value3>value4)
{value4=value3;}
}


voltsa=(value2*0.0048875855327);
voltsb=(value4*0.0048875855327);


lcd_gotoxy(1,1);
printf(lcd_putc,"%f",voltsa);
lcd_gotoxy(1,2);
printf(lcd_putc,"%f",voltsb);


value1=0;
value2=0;
value3=0;
value4=0;
}
}

Actually i am using 2 channels for measuring 2 different voltages and i am getting error in both the readings when i compare them with the multi-meter.
