Question

How do I divide two integers to get a double?

Accepted Answer

You want to cast the numbers:

```
double num3 = (double)num1/(double)num2;
```

Note: If any of the arguments in C# is a `double`, a `double` divide is used which results in a `double`. So, the following would work too:

```
double num3 = (double)num1/num2;
```
