What is the mathematical term and symbol for division without remainders?

Take for example 322 / 100.

I know 322 / 100 is division and the result is 3.22. I know 322 % 100 is a modulo and the result is 22.

But what is the proper term and symbol for division with no remainder?

Eg, 322 SYMBOL 100 would give 3.

The term is 'integer division'. The symbol used is $\lfloor \frac{322}{100} \rfloor$ or sometimes $[\frac{322}{100}]$ and $100\,|\,300$ if one is a divisor of the other.
