VBScript » Operators » \
Version: 1.0
The \ operator divides two numbers and returns an integer (fixed-point). Each number can be either floating-point or
fixed-point.
This operator works by rounding the values of the supplied operands to integers (if necessary) before performing the calculation and only returns an integer with no decimal representation (truncated).

<% result = 25 \ 4 %>Output:
