Note Submitter: marsman at stack dot nl ---- in response to the test of 'michael at hotmail or so dot com': the solution of function div($a,$b){return ($a-($a % $b))/$b} gives an error with such big numbers because de modulo operator (%) fails and not the calculation as you are suggesting. So if you need to use those kind of numbers you also need to write a new modulo operator anyway. In that case you always want to use the floor method because there simply isn't an alternative. But luckily I think I'll never have to use numbers like that.
