Mark was working on a utility for the internal platform, but the specialized environment he was using didn't allow for any standard division or multiplication symbols. He needed a way to calculate how many times a value fits into another while ensuring that any leftovers are simply discarded to keep the result as a whole number. Eva reviewed the logic and noted that the tool must handle negative numbers correctly by always rounding towards zero. As an example, if the tool is asked to divide ten by three, it should return three, bypassing the restricted symbols entirely.
