P.S I am in the beginning of pic basic pro...

Since PBP cannot deal with decimal you have to overcome the limitation in this way:

dc = 100/5 (dc=20)

LCDOUT $FE,1 ,"0.0",#dc

display 0.020

Must be that "new math" ;) , .20, you can display that as a string by putting it in quotes, LCDOUT $FE, 2, "1/5" , or as Al pointed out LCDOUT $FE,1 ,"0.",#dc , where the STRING "0." are just symbols for you humans to get your mind around and the real data follows from #dc

Just as before, 1/8 *1000 = 125, do this because PBP only does integer math, this gives you the answer 125. Display as before LCDOUT $FE, 2, "0."#dc , Or as a European display LCDOUT $FE,2,"0,"#dc .
