Basic python arithmetic - division

Question

I have two variables : count, which is a number of my filtered objects, and constant value per_page. I want to divide count by per_page and get integer value but I no matter

Answer 1

its because how you have it set up is performing the operation and then converting it to a float try

count = friends.count()
print count

per_page = float(2)
print per_page

pages = math.ceil(count/per_pages)

print pages
pages = count/per_pages

By converting either count or per_page to a float all of its future operations should be able to do divisions and end up with non whole numbers
