I am trying to make a trigger that will divide for me and put the answer into a variable. I have tried the recommened
#math var1 {@var2/@var3}
also
#math var1 (@var2/@var3)
also
#math var1 @var2/@var3

Please help me, What am I doing wrong.
Thanks
Jared

Var2 divided by Var3 probably equates to a fraction, and then rounded down to 0. Unless you use %float, zmud works by integers.

#math Var1 {%float(@var2)/%float(@var3)}

ok got that now, how about multiplying and disarding the fraction?
I had to make the trigger
#math Var1 {%float(@var2)/%float(@var3)}
#math var1 {var1*100}
I wanted to turn it into percentage to report it and there is too many numbers now. I get a value of ex. 42.567891234543%
How do I turn it into say 42.5 after doing to multiply.

Thanks for the Help so far it worked great after I added the
#math var1 {var1*100}

Thanks

Not quite, Scornme. You have an extra set of parentheses in your command.

#MATH var1 {%format(2,%eval(@var1*100))}

The simple way to get percentages is to do the multiplication first.
#MATH var1 {100 * @var2/@var3)

If you want to include tenths of percents:
#MATH var1 {1000 * @var2/@var3)
#MATH var1 %float( @var1/10)
