Thanks for the comments and suggestions from Eamonn, Joe, and Bruce. The updates add the suggested text and note the special case for floorDiv(MIN_VALUE/-1).

Hi Roger,

The changes look fine. However, I suggest adding an explanatory note along the lines of "Normal integer division operates under the round to zero rounding mode (truncation). This operation instead acts under the round to negative infinity (floor) rounding mode. The floor rounding mode gives different results than truncation when the exact result is negative."
