How to get a float result by dividing two integer values using T-SQL?

Question

Using T-SQL and Microsoft SQL Server I would like to specify the number of decimal digits when I do a division between 2 integer numbers like:

select 1/3
         


        

Answer 1

Use this

select cast((1*1.00)/3 AS DECIMAL(16,2)) as Result

Here in this sql first convert to float or multiply by 1.00 .Which output will be a float number.Here i consider 2 decimal places. You can choose what you need.
