Hi gbzhhu... 
Just change 
 
nCurrentNumber.divide(nTemp, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP); 
 
to 
int scale = 2; 
nCurrentNumber = nCurrentNumber.divide(nTemp, 2, BigDecimal.ROUND_UP); 
 
This will produce 1.80. 
 
The scale is the number of digits to the right of the decimal point. Of course it depends on what precision you want. 
 
best regards...

I am using BigDecimal format and when I say:

I get a result of 2, but I am expecting 
1.8 &nbsp;I doesn't actually give me any decimal point - why? &nbsp;all operations return a number with no decimal places. 
 
Can someone help me - urgent

BigDecimal SetScale()  How?

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
