i have an Integer value:

Integer value = 56472201;

Where the value could be positive or negative.

When I divide the value by 1000000, I want this result in the form 56.472201 but instead it gives me just the quotient. How am I able to get both the quotient and remainder values?

cast it to float and then do it:

int i = 56472201;

float j = ((float) i)/1000000.0

Edit: Due to precision(needed in your case), use double. Also as pointed by Konrad Rudolph, no need for explicit casting:

double j = i / 1000000.0;
