Solving an inequality with the floor operator

50 Views Asked by At

Assume that $A$, $B$, $C$ are positive real numbers and that $I$ is a positive integer. How could I isolate $A$ in the inequality $\left \lfloor{AB/C}\right \rfloor \geq I$ ? The best I could do:

\begin{equation} AB/C -1 \geq I \Rightarrow \left \lfloor{AB/C}\right \rfloor \geq I \end{equation}

Thus, $A\geq C(1+I)/B$ is a sufficient condition for $\left \lfloor{AB/C}\right \rfloor \geq I$.

$$\left\lfloor\frac{AB}{C}\right\rfloor \ge I$$ $$\implies \frac{AB}{C} \ge I$$

$$\implies A \ge \frac{IC}{B}$$
