Integer part of the output of a division

In summary, the integer part of the output of a division is the whole number portion of the result, calculated by dividing the two numbers and rounding down to the nearest whole number. It can be negative and is important for understanding the magnitude of the result and performing mathematical operations. The remainder, on the other hand, is the amount left over after dividing and is always less than the divisor.
