But division of this manner can also be interpreted on how many times the smaller number on the right fits into the bigger number on the left. The result should be a whole number.WHY?! Why should it?
Why should the number of DAYS in a year divided by the number of HOURS in a day be a whole number?! They are completely different units.
The number of HOURS in a year divided by the number if HOURS in a day (if we are simplifying and assuming exactly 365 days and using that to calculate the number of hours in a year) will be a whole number because the unit is the same. But if you mix up the units you get a completely meaningless number.
I have already broken it out by hours. If you take a group of 24 days compared to the 365.24 day year, the number of hours in both is equivalent in ratio to 365.24 days / 24 hours.

This is simple math.
A grouping of Twenty Four 24 hour days has 576 hours.
24 x 24 = 576
A year has 8765.76 hours in it.
365.24 x 24 = 8765.76
The ratio is 8765.76 hours / 576 hours
I am no longer using the year / day calculation.
Can we see if a grouping of Tewenty Four 24 hour days (576 hours) fits into a year that is 8765.76 hours long?
8765.76 hours / 576 hours = 15.21. No. It does not fit.
This is the same ratio as 365.24 / 24, and gives the same answer.
