Is there a simpler way to write "$x$ fits completely $v$ times in $y$," i.e. is there a mathematical symbol or way to write for example:



"32 fits 0 times completely in 4" or for example "32 fits 1 time completely in 40" more compactly?



Is there a symbol (preferably not too specific to any particular mathematical field) that could replace the text in my two examples above?

For $xneq 0$ You can use floor value of the division:



$$leftlfloorfracyxrightrfloor=v$$



For example:




$5$ fits completely $6$ times in $32$
$$leftlfloorfrac325rightrfloor=6$$
