I want to scale my ADC output to read the true value using Hi tech C
compiler.  I am using the +ve supply as Vref therefore I need to scale by a
factor of 4.83.  The ADC registers have been put together to form an
unsigned integer.  I am now multiplying by 483 and then dividing by 100 as
follows. t is a long integer

        ADC_VALUE       =        ADRESL;                                                /* Getting HSB of CCP1 */
        ADC_VALUE       += (ADRESH << 8);                                                 /* Getting LSB of CCP1 */
        t=(ADC_VALUE*483)/100;
        ADC_VALUE=t;


Now my problem is typecasting (I believe) because I am mixing long and short
integers.  Any ideas in how to overcome this.  By the way ADC_VALUE is
passed to another procedure which converts from binary to bcd in a 16 bit
word so it is not as simple as declaring it as a long integer.
