Divide Quotient (INTEGER Arithmetic)

When you are using integer arithmetic, the Divide Quotient operator (/) produces division of the leftmost number by the rightmost number and yields the quotient as the result.

Example: Divide Quotient

5 / 2 is 2.

Note: If you code &CONTROL INTEGER, where either operand is a non-integer real number, the operation is treated as a real number division and yields a real number result in the target variable.
