**Floor division** is a normal division operation except that it returns the largest possible integer. This integer is either less than or equal to the normal division result. 

> Floor function is mathematically denoted by this `⌊ ⌋` symbol.

Let's understand this concept through the slides below:

## Code
Several programming languages have a specific built-in `function` or `operator` for calculating floor division.

* `floor()` method is used in C++
* `Math.floor()` is used in Java
* `//` operator is used in Python


#include <iostream>
//include math library
#include <cmath>

using namespace std;

int main() {
  // floor() method is used.
  cout << "Floor of 36/5 is " << floor(36/5) << endl;  
  return 0;
}

class FloorDivision {
    public static void main( String args[] ) {
        System.out.print( "Floor of 36/5 is " );
        //math.floor() method is used below:
        System.out.println( Math.floor(36/5) );
    }
}
