Real or Integer?

[MBB]

I'm using a PIC 16F627.

Lets say I measure a frequency of 42,325 Hz and read this on my LCD display as 42325.  If I divide the 42,325 by 1000 and send it to the LCD, I read 42 on the display.

Is there any way I can show the .325 decimal part, i.e have the display read 42.325 kHz? (Display a Real number not an Integer)

hi,
Some times ago I create a sub I named "printdec" . So you can display on LCD any number you want to divide by 10,100,1000 or 10000 .

' factordiv may be 100,1000,10000

Sub PrintDec (number as word , facteurdiv as word )
dim wholenumber , remainder  , temp as word

select case facteurdiv
case 10
nop
case 100
nop
case 1000
nop
case 10000
nop
case else
exit sub      'to avoid other divisions , even by zero
end select
wholenumber= number / facteurdiv
remainder=number %facteurdiv
print wholenumber
print "."
' to avoid false displays you must add following lines
'ie : if number is 10003  and  you want display 10,003
'10003/1000=10 remainder=3  if you write 10,3 , your display is false but your result is OK

select case facteurdiv                     
case 100
if remainder < 10 then
print "0"
end if
case 1000
if remainder <100 then
print "0"
end if
if remainder < 10 then
print "0"
end if
case 10000
if remainder <1000 then
print "0"
end if
if remainder <100 then
print "0"
end if
if remainder< 10 then
print "0"
end if
  end select
print remainder
end sub
