Before division is performed, the numeric expressions are rounded to Byte, Integer, or Long expressions.

Usually, the data type of result is a Byte, Byte variant, Integer, Integer variant, Long, or Long variant, regardless of whether result is a whole number. Any fractional portion is truncated. However, if any expression is Null, result is Null. Any expression that is Empty is treated as 0.
