unsigned long nBolum = 0L;
unsigned long nKalan = 0L;
unsigned long ulA = 0L;
unsigned long ulB = 0L;
...
printf("ulA=%u\n",ulA);
printf("ulB=%u\n",ulB);
nBolum = (unsigned long) ulA/ulB;
nKalan = (unsigned long) ulA%ulB;
printf("nBolum = %u\n",nBolum);
printf("nKalan = %u\n",nKalan);
printf("HVFE.c exiting\n");
exit(1);it prints :
ulA=2607503366 ulB=16777215 nBolum = 65435 nKalan = 7100321
but nBolum must be 155.419.... Why is this happenning?
thanx.

You can't possibly get 155.419 from an unsigned long, there is no decimal point from integers. You need float or double.
And dividing two integers always gives an integer, even if you load it into a floating point number. For example:
12.000 is loaded into dval, not 12.5.
And dividing two integers always gives an integer, even if you load it into a floating point number. For example:
c Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

it prints :

change the line above and nBolum problem is gone. But I also see that nKalan is not being calculated correctly. I have opened another topic for the problem.
