You have to have one of the numbers as a float one:

320 / 1024.0 will give what you want. More info here

What you're trying to do is integer division. While doing integer division some sample results are as follows:

1/3 = 0
5/3 = 1

but converting either the numerator/denominator to a floating point value will return a floating point result.

1.0/3 = 0.333333
5/3.0 = 1.666667

Therefore what you're looking for is 320/1024.0 or 320.0/1024 or 320.0/1024.0 The result of which is 0.3125
