Fractional Math

Hi All,
Has anyone any bright ideas to get around the stamps integer only
math? I have an equation in which a value (x) is returned from a
sensor. (x) is then divided by a constant (k), this result (y) is
fractional. The value of (y)is then used elsewhere as an input into
a control system. Since the fractional half of the solution is
ignored the system is not as sensitive as I require.
Most greatful for any help
Hugh

The thought of me replying to a math question is just plain silly. But, if
you go take a look at Tracy Allens site, you will find a ton of good info on
integer math:

Good luck. I hate math because I am lousy at it.
