[Tutor] Division doesn't work

[Geoframer]

You assign s as an integer... it should be a float to get the right
result...

So either define s as

s = 14105.0

or as

s = float(14105)

it'll then result in the right answer :

In [17]: s=14105.0
In [18]: s/1024
Out[18]: 13.7744140625

In [19]: s = float(14105)
In [20]: s/1024
Out[20]: 13.7744140625
