set x to 266 div 11--- returns 24
the true calculation should return 24.18181818 or a rest of 2
Question: how do I get the rest of the calculation?
I don't follow; "div" is integer arithmetic; it's supposed to return an
integer. I don't understand what you mean by "or a rest of 2) either.
Do you mean the "mod" function. if so, that would be
266 mod 11
--> 2
The mod function is actually ((266 / 11 - 266 div 11) * 11) as integer
--> 2
If you want just the fraction,
266 / 11 - 266 div 11
--> 0.181818181818
