How to get precise division?

Question

I'm trying to get precise division with Python without success.

104101/2 gives 52050 whereas I need 52050.5

I also tried "%0.2f" % (104101/2) which is giving me '52050.00'.

Javascript equivalent works. Any idea what's wrong with me?

What is [`0.1+0.2`](http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=2999)? – Elliott Frisch Apr 12 '15 at 15:18 — Elliott Frisch, Apr 12 '15 at 15:18

104101/2.0

104101/float(2)

Or use Python 3
