DIV

Syntax

DIV

Description

Integer division. Similar to FLOOR(), but is safe with BIGINT values. Incorrect results may occur for non-integer operands that exceed BIGINT range.

If the ERROR_ON_DIVISION_BY_ZERO SQL_MODE is used, a division by zero produces an error. Otherwise, it returns NULL.

The remainder of a division can be obtained using the MOD operator.

Examples

SELECT 300 DIV 7;
+-----------+
| 300 DIV 7 |
+-----------+
|        42 |
+-----------+

SELECT 300 DIV 0;
+-----------+
| 300 DIV 0 |
+-----------+
|      NULL |
+-----------+
