SQL Server truncates decimal points of a newly created field in a view

Question

I have a view in SQL server, something like this:

select 6.71/3.41 as NewNumber

The result is 1.967741 (note 6 decimal points)

Answer 1

This is a bit workaround, but I think it's worth a note.

select ((6.71*10000)/(3.41*10000)) as NewNumber

This query:

SELECT 6.71/3.41, ((6.71*1000000)/(3.41*1000000)) as NewNumber

returns:

1.967741    1.96774193548387
