Simple number problem

Another basic question .. I need to divide a number by 5 and I want to trim anything after a decimal point in the answer. eg 18 / 5 = 3.6. I want the make the answer 3. Is there a simple way to do this?

There are a few different things you can do:
25/7 // float(3.5714285714286)
(int) (25/7) // int(3)
round(25/7) // float(4)

I got this from:

Hope that helps,
