True, you get a float result, but not a very useful one: >>> a = 2 >>> b = 11 >>> a / b * 100 # OP's problem 0 >>> a / b * 100. # Your suggestion; same as (a / b) *100. 0.0 >>> a * 100 / b # Fredrik's suggestion 18 >>> a * 100. / b # What you probably meant 18.181818181818183 >>> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
