Because digitToInt means exactly what it says. If you want it to become something other than Int, apply fromIntegral to its result.
I got it! The msg “ No instance for (Fractional Int) arising from a use of `/‘ “ actually has no business with the operands order at all ! -- Cui Liqiang On Tuesday, October 28, 2014 at 8:00 PM, Cui Liqiang wrote:

Because digitToInt means exactly what it says. If you want it to become something other than Int, apply fromIntegral to its result.
In the expression
\x acc -> acc / 10.0 + x
10.0 is a Fractional number, / is an operator that works on types in the
class Fractional, x is an Int, because the expression is applied to an Int.
To get the types correct, use fromIntegral:
caluDecimal l = (foldr1 (\x acc -> acc / 10.0 + x) (map (fromIntegral .
digitToInt) l))
(note, that you can write 10 instead of 10.0, with the same result.)
