In short form then:
Put 23 into tX; Put 8 into tY;
Put tX & “/“ & tY && “=“ && (tX div tY) && (tX mod tY) & “/“ & tY into
tCalcString

Perhaps not, but it is what you asked for...
28 div 3 = 9
28 mod 1 = 1
28 / 3 = 9 + 1/3
301 div 10 = 30
301 mod 10 = 1
A (theoretical) circle is effectively a regular polygon with "many" vertices.
LC Script draws only integer valued points (although you can give decimals).
That approximation of a circle by regular polygons is shown in the sample stack

Some thoughts:
A. Define round as a way to get rid of the fractional part.
B. Use a simple (almost regular) polygon that can be multiplied to be bigger.
C. Create your own functions that hide decimal fractions and let students use
them.
1. Use turtle graphics
D. Draw a circle of diameter 10
I have had no trouble with LiveCode in this respect: that is NOT the
problem: the problem
is that, in Bulgaria, kids have not been taught about numbers with
decimal points when they
are 11 years old (strikes me as a bit late in the day), so am trying to
avoid those just now.

I generally use "round" when working with pixels. But you don't have to,
the LC engine seems to manage decimal pixels for you.
Clever, that engine.

Well . . . Um . . . div
But that is alright as far as sums such as 28 div 3 go . . .
But it is not much cop when it comes to finding
the quotient of some long and complicated bit of Mathematics.

Thanks Phil and Devin. I had no idea that div and the "/" operator yielded
different results.

Are you talking about the div operator?
put 12 div 5 --> 2
And the mod operator gives the remaind
put 12 div 5 into tQuotient
put 12 mod 5 into tRemainder
put 12 / 5 into tDecimalQuotient
