<div>
u can just use:<br />
<br />
total = total.divide(new BigDecimal(&quot;100&quot;));
</div>


u can just use:

total = total.divide(new BigDecimal("100"));

<div>
u can supply other parsms to specify scale/rounding if the default behavior does not meet your need.

<div>
&gt; total = total.divide(new BigDecimal(&quot;100&quot;));<br />
<br />
that will leave the scale thew same (as total)<br />

</div>


> total = total.divide(new BigDecimal("100"));

that will leave the scale thew same (as total)

It seems to me that arguments are necessary.<br />
Otherwise I get a compiling error.<br />
<br />
I use jdk 1.4.x<br />
<br />

<div>
then you'll need the following:<br />
<br />
total = total.divide(new BigDecimal(&quot;100&quot;), BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_DOWN<wbr />);<br />
<br />
change the round mode to meet your needs.<br />

</div>


then you'll need the following:

total = total.divide(new BigDecimal("100"), BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_DOWN);

change the round mode to meet your needs.

Hi,

I want to divide a BigDecimal by 100,

total = total.divide(new BigDecimal("100"),  ??  );

Can you please help me what the other params must be to have a usual behaviour ?

Thank you.

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.
