Hi

I have divided two fields using below script

```auto
return doc['StatusOpen'].value/doc['StatusSent'].value

```

for this result should be 2/31 = 0.06451 = 6.451% but it's giving 0 %

As I have format as percentage and Numeral.js format pattern as 0,0.[000]%

May I know where I went wrong.

`StatusOpen` and `StatusSent` are probably of type `int` - in this case the `/` operator is doing an integer division. By casting them to double it should work as expected ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/painless/current/painless-casting.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/painless/current/painless-casting.html) ):  
`return ((double) doc['StatusOpen'].value)/((double) doc['StatusSent'].value)`
