If a rule implies that the result of a division should be an integer (for instance, by attempting to store that result in, or add it to, a gamestate variable that can only hold integers), the result of the division is instead the result rounded towards 0.

If a rule implies that the result of any calculation should be an integer (for instance, by attempting to store that result in, or add it to, a gamestate variable that can only hold integers), the result of the calculation is instead the result rounded towards 0.
No reason to limit this to division, as other operations like multiplication or exponentiation can also produce non-integer results. Plus, one can easily rewrite any division as a series of other operations or vice versa and come up with two mathematically equivalent equations that might have two different solutions under the current wording (one that triggers this condition and one that doesn’t).
