Why does this simple calculation not show decimals?

I’m trying to calculate the amount of pages my inventory has:

float pages = Mathf.CeilToInt(InventoryItemHolder.transform.childCount / itemsPerPage);

the childCount is 19, the itemsPerpage is 16. I logged these numbers in the console to make sure the mistake isn’t in there.

So, pages should be 2 (19 / 16 = 1.1875, rounded to upper int), however is 1.

The same problem happens when I simplify:

float pages = InventoryItemHolder.transform.childCount / itemsPerPage;

Pages is still 1, instead of the expected 1.1875.

Why is this, and how can I solve it?

Is childcount and itemsperpage both int’s?
If yes, Try casting the calculation to float, i think the implicit cast to float is only made after the calculation is allready done, which would result in behaviour you are observing.

 float pages =((float)InventoryItemHolder.transform.childCount / itemsPerPage);
