(nonnegative-integer-quotient i j)
returns the integer quotient
of the integers i
and (non-zero) j
, i.e., the largest k
such that (* j k)
is less than or equal to i
. Also
see floor, see ceiling and see truncate, which are
derived from this function and apply to rational numbers.
The guard of (nonnegative-integer-quotient i j)
requires that
i
is a nonnegative integer and j
is a positive integer.
