20//6 is integer division, it will only return the integer part of that answer (the amount of times 6 can go into 20). 20/6 will return you the actual answer which would be 3.33333... a//b integer division (floor division) a/b floating point division

floor division gives the greatest integer less than or equal to the answer of 20/3, if code is print(20//6) you get output 3 but if the code is print(-20//6) you get the output as -4 it does not just truncate the value of the float( the one you get by just dividing) , it is clear in the case of negative numbers
