Does the integer division return a floor or a ceiling of the result? I checked the BOL to see if this question was there but all it has is
"\ Divides two numbers and returns an integer result." Thanks

Floor. Exactly like grade-school division.
8 divided by 3 is 2, with a remainder of 2. It gives you 2 as the answer, because "remainder 2" isn't expressable in integers.

To use your terminology, the floor, 3/2 = 1.

If you think that's fun, trying Googling "&" to find out what it means in code. Or Google "or". Fun stuff!
