For div I think we have these options 5 \ 2 5 div 2 div (5,2)
Another option, python uses 5 // 2 for floor division.

of the suggestions so far, i like that one best. 5 \ 2 isn't bad, but 5 // 2 is more visually distinct (less likely to confuse with 5 / 2 at a glance) and doesn't have another use. 5 div 2 is a little strange, and makes me want to try things like 5 mod 2 instead of 5 % 2. :) i think it'd be better to stick with symbols. just my $0.02.
Here's another solution for integer division. Don't bother with it.
There is no particular need, after all:
(5/2).intValue() => 2
should give you what you want.
(You guys were thinking so hard about this that I could smell the smoke over here in Spain. Thought I should throw you guys a bone... ;-))
