If you divide one integer by another, then it is logical to get an
integer as as the answer.
Hmm, grab any of my calculators and divide 10/4 and get 2.5. Seems not
everybody agrees with that logic:)
Calculators normally work in floating point (in fact, as far as I am
aware, they never work in integer mode by default) , unless you are
either doing symbolic maths or numbers that are integer based like
hexadecimal.
So your example does not contrdict what I said.
