Reason: First published version: existence and uniqueness of the integer part of a real number, now that def:integers-2026a and lem:integers-arithmetic-order-2026a are published.

Statement

Adopt the notation of the definition of the integers: R\mathbb{R} is the real numbers with the order \le of its ordered field structure, N\mathbb{N} is the set of natural numbers, ι\iota is the canonical map, and Z\mathbb{Z} is the set of integers. For s,tRs,t\in\mathbb{R} write s<ts<t to mean sts\le t and sts\ne t.

For every xRx\in\mathbb{R} there is exactly one nZn\in\mathbb{Z} such that

nx<n+1.n\le x<n+1 .

This integer is written x\lfloor x\rfloor and called the integer part of xx. It satisfies x1<xxx-1<\lfloor x\rfloor\le x.
