If m and n are coprime integers, then

1≤in-1 floor(im/n) = (m-1)(n-1)/2.

This identity doesn't in any way help understanding what the floor function is. Nor is it somthing special: there are probably dozens of identities involving the floor function. It disrupts the flow of the article. If you want to include it, please explain why you want to on this page before doing so and try to fit it in with the rest of the article. -- Arvindn 13:57 Dec 23, 2002 (UTC)
