Check the Dart documentation to see how it deals with such expressions.

The Dart division operator[^] works on double values. It has a different operator for integer division[^] if you want the same behaviour as Java.

Only the language designers could tell you why it does that. At a guess, they saw how many people were tripped up by the integer division behaviour in other languages, and wanted to avoid that in their language.
