1What 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– AceCorban2012-07-31 18:43:09 +00:00Commented 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.
