Division

Taking the Ratio $x/y$ of two numbers $x$ and $y$, also written $x\div y$. Here, $y$ is called the Divisor. The symbol ``/'' is called a Solidus (or Diagonal), and the symbol ``$\div$'' is called the Obelus. Division in which the fractional (remainder) is discarded is called Integer Division, and is sometimes denoted using a backslash, $\backslash$.
