The following code shows the problem clearly:

using System;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            decimal d;

            for (d = 0; d < 5; d++)
                Console.WriteLine("d = {0}, d/3 = {1}", d, d / 5);

            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }
}


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile and run the above code.

Actual Results:  
d = 0, d/3 = 0
d = 1, d/3 = 0.2000000000000000000000000000
d = 2, d/3 = 0.4000000000000000000000000000
d = 3, d/3 = 0.6000000000000000000000000000
d = 4, d/3 = 0.8000000000000000000000000000


Expected Results:  
d = 0, d/3 = 0
d = 1, d/3 = 0.2
d = 2, d/3 = 0.4
d = 3, d/3 = 0.6
d = 4, d/3 = 0.8
