Double to get decimal places

God this is embarassing... But if you check my posting time, you'll understand.

Here's the exact code:
double secondBreakdown = WorldTimeTrackbar->Position / 4;

The position of the trackbar can be anywhere between 1 and 60, progressing by 1 each time. So it should be spitting me back decimal points, but it's not. Every time it's getting rounded to a whole number and I really need decimal places. And I don't know why... But the sun's about to rise, so I'm finally coming to ya'll for help. Please help!

Winner gets a star!!

I'm not familiar with WorldTimeTrackbar but have you tried:
double secondBreakdown = (float)WorldTimeTrackbar->Position / 4.0;
