JavaScript does not feature an integral division (div) operator. However, it is easy to create such a function using simple arithmetic operators. Here is an implementation of the div() function:

function div(op1, op2) {
  return(op1 / op2 - op1 % op2 / op2);
}

Here are a few examples for using the new div() function:

var a = div(23, 3) // a is assigned 7
var b = div(12, 4) // b is assigned 3
