I am in table tracking on the task sheet. My total duration is 57 days. I
have 25 tasks all of them are incomplete. On task 4 I have completed the
task 100%. The task was 4 days. Now my %complete is 8%, the actual duration
is 4.3 days and the remaining duration is 52.7. Where are these decimals
coming from? I entered 100% in the %complete cell. My total duration for
this phase (research phase consists of 3 tasks) is 6 days. Please help!!!

57 is a prime number, It is likely that most numbers which you divide by it
will result in a non-integer.
Percent complete on a summary task is computed by the average percent
complete of the sub tasks.

What numbers is it dividing by to get decimals?

Percent complete for a task is actual duration divided by duration * 100
When you have a summary task I believe it sums all durations and actual
durations below it and uses that to calculate.

When you say actual duration do you mean for that specific task or the
overall project? And what do you mean by duration? The duration for the
overall task is 57 days. The duration for this one task that is complete is
2 days.
