'there must be a math function for this but I don't have
'msdn available and you are using VB3 so I don't even know
'if you have access to the InStr/cSng Functions.


Private Sub Form_Load()

'I assume there are better ways but this will work
'if using decimals you must be using single/double/long
'x = result of your division

    Dim x As Single
    x = 5.5
    
    Dim SearchString, SearchChar, MyPos
'convert it to a string
    SearchString = CStr(x)
'search for the .
    SearchChar = "."
    MyPos = InStr(1, SearchString, SearchChar, 1)

'if found MyPos will be > 0
    If MyPos > 0 Then
'trim away all but what follows the .
        SearchString = Right(SearchString, Len(SearchString) - MyPos)
'switch back to single
        x = CSng(SearchString)
        MsgBox x  'value of x as a single
    End If

End Sub

Not sure if this works for everything, but you can try it out:

    Dim x As Single

    x = (11 / 2 - 11 \ 2)
    MsgBox (x)
