Division with some decimal

[Darklakebridge7]

Now then, where were we?

Darklakebridge7,

An easy way to think about it is to look at how you would "Name" the numer.

For instance,

5.58 is 558 hundredth's of whatever it is.

So if you multiply by 558, then divide by 100 (hundredths), you end up with the correct answer. (integers only)

B = 123
A = B * 558
A = DIV32 100

Piece of Pie, or was that cake.

Hi to everybody!

Forgive me, but I am new and I have some problem with the language English! Could you recommend me a some good book of PIC Basic?

A special thanks to all those people that have helped me to resolve my problem!

No need for a book! Forum and head-banging is more than enough!

A VAR WORD
B VAR WORD
TNTH VAR BYTE
HUNDTH VAR BYTE


A = B * 100 'A is temporary storage of computation
A = DIV32 558 'using DIV32... B can be any integer up to 65534
TNTH = A DIG 1 'GRAB THE "TENS" DIGIT FROM "A"
HUNDTH = A DIG 0 'GRAB THE "ONES" DIGIT FROM "A"
A = A / 100 'final result is placed in variable A as an integer... any 'remainder will be discarded.

LDCOUT $FE,1 'CLEAR DISPLAY
LCDOUT "A = ",#A,".",#TNTH,#HUNDTH

I think that would give you what you want.
