I see that you have set up a function. It does give a lot of decimal places which I am trying to avoid. I use the following, as an example, to get 22/7.
echo (echo "scale=6; 22/7" | bc) 3.142857 If I change the scale to 8, for example, I get 3.14285714 The query I was referring to was setting the number of decimal places in the answer. That is my way. There are probably better ways.
