Here is the most basic example of how to divide two integers in Python.

#!/usr/bin/python
print(10 / 5)

 

It is much more common to store the result in a variable.

#!/usr/bin/python
result = (10 + 5)
print(result)

 

Be aware that if you are using Python version 2, a whole number should be returned, like this.

~]# python example.py
2

 

Whereas Python 3 should return a decimal number.

~]# python3 example.py
2.0

 

You can divide decimal numbers.

#!/usr/bin/python
result = (10.5 / 2.4)
print(result)

 

Which should return the following.

4.375

 

round can be used to round to whole numbers.

#!/usr/bin/python3
result = round(10.5 / 2.4)
print(result)

 

Which should return the following.

4
