    I think Paulie has the best answer. Another, using [x] as the "greatest integer less than or equal to x" operation:

    [ (77-3)/3 ]

    If you have a Unicode font (set your browser's character encoding to UTF-8, if needed), that's also written:

    ⌊ (77 - 3)/3 ⌋

    This is also called the floor function, or the entier function ("entier" is French for "integer").
