SQL Server division with no decimal

Hi - I have what seems like a simple problem and I cannot find an answer to it. I'm hoping someone here can help.

I want to divide 2 numbers but have the answer come back with no decimal places. I don't want to round up or down..just give me the whole number and drop the decimal places. For example:

Select units/60 as answer

And units = 280. I want the "answer" to be 4 and NOT 4.66.

Any ideas?

I'm on SQL server version 8.0.

Thanks in advance!
