This is what I think you mean:
Share the total dividing.
What?...

There is this block:
<()/()>If that is what you mean by integer division. It can also go to decimals. If you would like to round the decimals then there is this block:
round()

Fixed. The "round" block is a reporter, not stack.

Integer division, as in 5 / 2 = 2 and not 2.5?
A possible workaround would be this:
set [divident v] to (5) set [divisor v] to (2) say (((divident) - ((divident) mod (divisor))) / (divisor))The "mod" block - short for "modulo", returns the remainder of a division. Substract this to the original dividend, and you should get a number, that when divided by the original divisor, leaves no remainder.
The "round" block won't ever give you true integer division, contrary to what has been suggested. Let's use the same numbers:
(round ((5) / (2)))5 / 2 = 2.5, and 0.5 rounded to the nearest integer is 1. That would give us 5 / 2 = 3, and that's obviously not true integer division.
