• 1 What exactly are you trying to do? Truncate the decimal? Round down? Round up? Perhaps just use Math.Floor: var z = Math.Floor(x/y); – AceCorban Commented Jul 31, 2012 at 18:43

If you're simply trying to truncate the decimal, use the following:

parseInt(2.5); // returns 2

If you're trying to round to the nearest integer, use the following:

Math.round(2.5); // returns 3

If you're trying to round down, use the following:

Math.floor(2.5); // returns 2

If you're trying to round up, use the following:

Math.ceil(2.5); // returns 3

Use simply parseInt() within javascript on the result

var x = 12.5;
var y = ​5;

​var result = parseInt(x / y, 10); // the 2nd parameter signifies base-10
alert(result);​

You don't need to use jQuery at all for this. Simply use JavaScript's parseInt() method.
