This is normal behaviour. The div operator is used to divide 2
numbers. Applescript converts both numbers to integers (if they're not
already integers), performs the division, and discards any fractional
remainder. The result is always an integer. Use / instead of div.

Hi all!
Just as someone found out it was OK mixing soda with chocolate, Mr.
Bansemer
found this funny bug. Please, check it out and report!
set n to 1.015 * 100 --> 101.5
set n to n + 0.5 --> 102.0
n div 1 --> 101 --> (!)
The workaround for the "affected routines" would be coercing n to
"small
real" (if you wish to preserve decimals) before using div.
Cheers...
