What is Div if not division

Question

size.total = size.width * size.height;
y = yuv[position.y * size.width + position.x];
u = yuv[(position.y / 2) * (size.width / 2) + (position.x / 2) + size.total];
v = yuv[(position.y / 2) * (size.width / 2) + (position.x / 2) + size.total + (size.total / 4)];
rgb = YUV444toRGB888(y, u, v);

Here / is Div not division.

The above formula is taken from the wikipedia link .

The one thing I want to know is that the statement mentioned

Here / is Div not division.

What is Div here then, it is not dividing then what?

Maybe they mean Divergence? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divergence — David, Aug 31 '15 at 12:01
Divergence doesn't make sense in this context. It's integer division like @gd1 said. — Carlton, Aug 31 '15 at 12:02
I edited in the integer division. `Div not division` was confusing. — nwp, Aug 31 '15 at 12:19
It's off-topic because it is about a poorly written Wikipedia article — Tadeusz Kopec for Ukraine, Aug 31 '15 at 12:32

What the page means by Div is integer division. In C, if both operands to the / operator are of an integral type, the result is also of an integral type and any fractional part is truncated.

For example, 5 / 2 evaluates to 2.
