Floor gets the division down to the nearest lower number (works a bit unintuitive for negative numbers): 7 // 4 = 1 7 // -4 = -2 -7 // 4 = -2 -7 // -4 = 1

lets suppose you have a number 7 and a number 2. so the normal division for this would be 7/2 which gives us 3.5 . whereas floor division gives the natural number that appears just before the solution of normal division on number line, which in this case would be 3. hope it helps.
