JavaScript integer division

If you want to perform integer division in JavaScript, you can use the Math.floor() or Math.trunc() functions to round the result down to the nearest integer.

let num1 = 10;
let num2 = 3;
let quotient = Math.floor(num1 / num2);
console.log(quotient);

How to perform an integer division, and separately get the remainder, in JavaScript?

Answer: To perform integer division and get the remainder separately in JavaScript, you can use the Math.floor() function to get the integer quotient and the modulo operator % to get the remainder.

let num1 = 10;
let num2 = 3;

let quotient = Math.floor(num1 / num2);
let remainder = num1 % num2;

console.log(quotient); // outputs 3
console.log(remainder); // outputs 1
