    Get the highest integer quotient of dividend divided by divisor only using formula.

    Hi All,

    Is there any formula which returns the highest integer quotient if i do division.

    For ex.
    5/2 will return 2.5 but i need only 2 means the max integer quotient.

    i tried =int(5/2) in excel formula and it gives me the exact value but is there any other formula.

    Thanks in advance.

    I am confused as to why you are looking for another formula... do you think there will be a simpler formula than that!!??! Or is that formula not returning the values you actually want (in which case, tell us what those values are)?

    Okay, two other possibilities then...

    =1*LEFT(F2,FIND(".",A2&"."))

    =ROUNDDOWN(A2,0)
