Hi again! In my previous posting, I had asked some questions about representing decimals. I did a bit more reading and found out about the machine precision of real numbers, and that answers a lot of my questions about how things are represented by Mathematica. So here is another question. Has anyone written a function that will do a division of two integers to any number of decimal places, where "any" can be stipulated by the user? Tom De Vries
