Why am I getting story points in decimals?

[Mythili]

I used the following formula to generate story points through automation. 

Formula: 

"{{#=}}({{issue.Original estimate|0}}/3600)/8{{/}}"

I'm able to generate the story points, but it's generating in decimals. For example, for 40 hours, the story points generated is 0.625.

Hi Mythili, 

Welcome to the community! 

The Original estimate is saved as seconds in jira, so 40h will be saved as 144.000 and the result of your calculation should be 5 (tested and confirmed).

Did you add a log in your automation to confirm the number? 

Can you provide your rule as implemented so we can help debug?
