Handling the division in the previous scenario is just the same as working with integer divisions, as Ethereum doesn’t adopt floating point numbers. The division would result in a floor of the calculation with the remainder discarded. For example, the division 17/3 equals 5, with the remainder of 2 discarded. To fix this, we create a new method that does the following:

function calcul(uint a, uint b, uint precision) public pure returns (uint) {
    require(b != 0);
    return a * (10 ** (precision)) / b;
}

Note that the double asterisk, **, is a Solidity operator representing the exponentiation operation. In our example, 10 is the base whereas precision is the exponent.

If we divide 17 by 3 using the calcul() function, and we call the function with a precision of 5 (the number of digits after the decimal point), it will output 566,666, which can be displayed to the player as 5.66666. In this way, we can produce a float using integer division, though it still requires that in the frontend you divide the result by the equivalent value of (10 ** (precision)) to display the floating-point number.

Therefore, in the share_pension() function, we substitute the quotient by performing the following:

 Tpension[active_players[i].Paddress] = calcul(Tpension[user], remainingPlayers, 18);
