        final long a= 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 * 1000;
        final long b= 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;

        System.out.println(a/         


        

Answer 1

Agree with above answers You can achieve what you want in below two ways:

public static void main(String[] args) {
        //way 1
        final long a =(long) 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 * 1000;
        final long b = (long)24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
        System.out.println(a / b);
        //way 2
        final long a1 = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 * 1000L;
        final long b1 = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000L;
        System.out.println(a1 / b1);
    }
