    Its working absolutely fine.

    52*52 = 2704

    So when you are dividing 2704 by 52, it will give 52 only. Thats why there is no change in the number.

    Intelligence or just common sence?

    It's not like it's hard math, it's basic Arithmetic.

    This was easy...after I clicked on = the screen didn't chage, then I clicked 2nd time and saw 1. This made me think it's just 2704/52 = 52/52 = 1

    What a blunder. Can't believe it's actually coming from Microsoft.
