Division with integers and floats

Python supports two different division operators: / and //. In Python 3, / will consistently return a float result, and // is floor division and will consistently return an integer result. Floor division is the same as doing math.floor(numerator/divisor), which returns the highest integer less than or equal to the result of the division operation. You can learn more about math.floor in the Python Docs.
