Re: Question about DIV and MVR

[GUY_HENZA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

.024 is the remainder

ONE = 60.000
TWO = 84.000
FINAL = 00.714
REM = 00.024

OR

60/84=0.71428571428571428571428571428571
0.71428571428571428571428571428571-.714=0.00028571428571428571428571428571
0.00028571428571428571428571428571*84=.024

Sorry for the misleading post ... I thought MVR was for remainders.  I
knew that DIV did both integer and non-integer division, but does MVR
even mean in the context of non-integer division?

The RPG reference isn't helping me to figure out where .024 comes from
in your example.
