DIV

Perform integer division. This operator divides one number by another and returns the integer result, discarding any remainder.

Syntax

DIV

Description

Integer division. Similar to FLOOR(), but is safe with BIGINT values. Incorrect results may occur for non-integer operands that exceed the BIGINT range.

If the ERROR_ON_DIVISION_BY_ZERO SQL_MODE is used, a division by zero produces an error. Otherwise, it returns NULL.

The remainder of a division can be obtained using the MOD operator.

Examples

SELECT 300 DIV 7;
+-----------+
| 300 DIV 7 |
+-----------+
|        42 |
+-----------+

SELECT 300 DIV 0;
+-----------+
| 300 DIV 0 |
+-----------+
|      NULL |
+-----------+
