Integer::div(i : Integer) : Integer calculates an integer quotient when you need to divide one integer by another and discard the fractional remainder.

Syntax

number1.div(number2)

• number1 is the dividend: the value being divided.
• number2 is the divisor: the value to divide by.
• The result is an Integer.

Example

To calculate how many complete groups of five are contained in 17, use:

17.div(5)

The result is 3. The remainder, 2, is discarded.

For a model value, the following expression divides the first customer's age by 20:

Customer.allInstances->first.Age.div(20)

If the age is 45, the result is 2.

Choose the right division operation

Use div when the integer quotient is the required result. Use / when the calculation must retain a fractional result.

Requirement	Use	Example result
Count complete groups and discard the remainder	div	17.div(5) returns 3
Calculate a fractional quotient	/	17 / 5 returns a numeric fractional result

Quotient and remainder

Use mod when you need the integer remainder rather than the quotient. For the same values, 17 mod 5 returns 2.
