Hi Edgar,

I did not quite understand what you actually were calculating but maybe
consider the following expression for table formulas:

#+TBLFM: $3='(format "%s\\textwidth" (/ (* 1.0 $2) $1));N

If you specify ";N", the entries are treated as numbers.  The problem
with division is that if both numbers are integers, integer division is
used so I multiply one of the arguments by 1.0 to ensure floating point
numbers.

HTH,
eric
