Statement

In the setting of The Real Numbers, with the Natural Numbers, Integers and Rationals Identified with Subsets of the Reals, and Completeness, let x∈Rx\in\mathbb{R}.

The integer part of xx, written ⌊x⌋\lfloor x\rfloor, is the integer nn with n≤x<n+1n\le x<n+1, which exists and is unique by The Integers in the Real Numbers: Greatest Elements, the Integer Part, and Archimedean Consequences §floor.
