Question

When i do (/ 411 125) , i dont get it in terms of decimal, how do I do that?

Answer 1

As documented, integer division yields rational numbers. Try

(/ 411.0 125)

Answer 2

If you use a float for the dividend, you'll get a decimal answer.

(/ 22.0 7) -> 3.142857142857143

There's also the (unchecked-remainder x y) function available.
