Hi,

It is not a problem of precision but a problem of display.

Hello everyone.

When I execute the following in R
(18-46)/(45-93)
[1] 0.5833333

I get small precision for what I am trying to deal with .  Is it possible to
increase the precision for this and for other operations?

For example openoffice calc for this operation returns


0.58333333333333300000


I




I would like to thank you for your help
