No. The result of a /= or *= operator will not return an lvalue, and therefore cannot be used to the left of another assignment. What's wrong with the simple, obvious, readable:

total_marks = (total_marks / 1000) * 100;

In C++ you could write for example

( total_marks/=1000 ) *= 100;

However in C this code will not compile.

In C ( and C++ ) you could write the following way using the comma operator

total_marks/=1000, total_marks *= 100;

I mean if you need this in expressions.
