Div

quotient for integers
Syntax 

Div(N:INT, D:INT):INT

Description
If N = Q*D + R, and 0 <= R < |D|, then Div(N, D) returns Q and Mod(N, D) returns R.

NOTE: To perform the division algorithm on a polynomial or vector, use NR (normal remainder) to find the remainder, or DivAlg to get both the quotients and the remainder. To determine if a polynomial is in a given ideal or a vector is in a given module, use NF or IsIn , and to find a representation in terms of the generators use GenRepr .

Example 
  Div(10,3);

  Mod(10,3);
