Excel formula/function brainstorming

Hi everybody,
My name is Manu and i am carpenter, i am looking for one formula/function that could help me find the quantity of one item that i need to achieve the realization of different length of a smaller item.
In number will be more clear : for example, i need to chop 8 pieces of wood, each measuring 1.8m, in a beam of 5m. How can i find out how many 5m beam i will need to do the job ?
Is there any function that keep the entire value of a calculated number ? (ex: 5/1.8=2.777 i would like to keep only the 2 without decimal value)
Thanks a lot for your help, i hope i am not posting on a subject already discussed.

That can be accomplished using the INT function - it returns the INTeger value of a result, so you can do this:

=INT(5/1.8)

to return 2.

Hope this helps.
