When I divide the numbers in clojure, I get a fraction, how can I get the decimal number?

When I do (/ 411 125) , I do not get it in terms of decimal. How to do it?

As documented , integer division gives rational numbers. Try

 (/ 411.0 125)

If you use float for dividends, you will get a decimal answer.

 (/ 22.0 7) -> 3.142857142857143

A function is also available (unchecked remainder xy) .

even this will work:

 (/ 22. 7) => 3.142857142857143

(float 411/125) is another option if you are given numbers directly, which is the case if you just use REPL as a calculator. Unfortunately, these are a few characters longer than the solution of Jonathan Feinberg and ire_and_curses .;)
