android - Dividing two integers in Java gives me 0 or 100?

Question

I'm trying to divide two integers and multiply by 100 but it keeps giving only 0 or 100. Can someone help me?

    int x= (a/b)*100;

if a was 500 and b was 1000 it would give me 0. The only time it will give me 100 is if a>=b. How can I fix this?

Thanks

What you could do is force it to divide a and b as doubles thus:

int x = (int) (((double) a / (double) b) * 100);
