JavaScript Dividing Array Values by an Int

I can't explain where the error is occurring here but the basic division I am attempting using array values is resulting in outrageously large numbers in the tens of thousands.

Inside of a for loop "for (var i = 0; i < 6; i ++)" I have the follow code"

var av1 = (stud[i][0][0] + stud[i][0][1] + stud[i][0][2])/3;

For clarity, there is a failure on every iteration of this loop. The initial values are as follows:

stud[0][0][0] = '77';
stud[0][0][1] = '81';
stud[0][0][2] = '85';

So I would expect an 81, plain and simple. However, the output it is coming up with is 259395. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

Your array values are strings, not integers. As such, your addition is creating a value of 778185. After being type coerced to an integer and divided by 3, you get exactly 259395. You'll need to make sure your integers are stored as integers.
