Subject: Need output in ascii item with 9 digits after the decimal point


Hi,
I have a division to do in Quiz
and I would like to know to know the simplest and most accurate way
to get the output in ascii with 9 digits after the decimal point
as in the example below :

a = 1
b = 252856

Dividing a by b
I get 0.000003955
I need that 0.000003955   in an ascii defined item.

Any help appreciated.
TIA

Wayne
