I am writing a function to extract decimals from a number. Ignore the exception and its syntax, I am working on 2.5.2 (default Leopard version). My function does not yet handle 0's. My issue is, the function produces random errors with certain numbers...

As Ned Batchelder said, not all decimals are exactly representable.
The problem is that (binary) floating point numbers aren't precisely representable as decimals.

When 2 decimal(30,10) numbers are divided in Sql Server 05, 2 last decimals seem to be getting lost (not even rounded off, simply truncated).
For example:
Declare @x decimal(30,10) Declare @y decimal(30,10) Declare @z decimal(30,10) select @x = 2.1277...

This helps to explain why division by those values comes up short of your expectations.
When you assign @x and @y to literal values, they are probably adopting the precision of those literals .
In short, use casting to guarantee your results.

Is there an algorithm for figuring out the following things?
If the result of a division is a repeating decimal (in binary). If it repeats, at what digit (represented as a power of 2) does the repetition start? What digits repeat? Some examples:
1/2 =...

I can give a hint - repeating decimals in base ten are all fraction.
Of a fraction.

Cheers
Try this
select cast(ROUND(2/3.0, 2) as decimal(2,2))
Hope that will help.
SELECT ROUND(2.0/3.0, 2)
Hi
Select cast(2.0/3.0 as decimal(3,2)) as result , should help.

Hi Experts,
I need to process a wage type through a rule in the payroll schema such that:
N = 80 hours divided by 12
I need to ignore the decimals i.e. I need 6 as the output of the division instead of 6.66
How do I proceed ?
Regards,
Somdeb.

I'm having a hard time teaching him division of decimals such as:
1 / .04
We are using MM5, and I for the first time we are finding her explanation lacking.
He thinks that since you are dividing, the answer has to be less than one.
I'm having a hard time...

FWIW, I love.
Maybe we'll skip decimals and move on to fractions, and revisit decimals later.
Point.

I have thought about this question my whole life, and I do not agree that they have no end. At some point, when you are dividing something, you reach the atomic level. You cannot split an atom into thirds- the world would blow up! Blessings, Jai

And I agree with what Vesuvius and Wade Casaldi have said .
Concept, repeating decimals have no end.

I have some code to convert a time value returned from QueryPerformanceCounter to a double value in milliseconds, as this is more convenient to count with.
The function looks like this:
double timeGetExactTime() { LARGE_INTEGER timerPerformanceCounter...

You are correct about the size of the numbers.
Then cast the resulting number back to double.
Adion,
If you don't mind the performance hit, cast your QuadPart numbers to decimal instead of double before performing the division.

I need some division algorithm which can handle big integers (128-bit). I've already asked how to do it via bit shifting operators. However, my current implementation seems to ask for a better approach
Basically, I store numbers as two long long unsigned...

Hi.
I'm trying to calculate a percentage "factor". That is, given a 20%, convert it into 0.2 (my intention is to later multiply values by that and get the 20% of the values).
Anyway, the question is related with this piece of code:

That means that your percentage.divide(hundred, BigDecimal.ROUND_FLOOR) will produce zero (it's effectively... .
You probably want to use ROUND_UP as rounding mode
The scale of new BigDecimal("20") is zero because you've got no decimal point in there.
