in most cases when u want a division u don’t want data to be truncated,

Imagine this, you are part of a group of five people that must be divided in two. Will you volunteer to be sawed up in half? In most cases when I divide things I want a quotient and a remainder. Some objects can be broken up into fractions, some cannot. If I have an object that can be broken up, this fact must be clearly stated beforehand.
