🤖 Fix: Correct division to integer division to prevent Cython casting errors (resolves #7)

[autoprbot]

This PR fixes the use of the division operator to ensure the result is of type usize_t and not double. We replace the / operator with the // operator to get the floor value of the division, avoiding type casting issues when assigning to usize_t in Cython.

The code seems to be using the division operator '/' which in Python 2 returned the floor of the division if the arguments were ints but has been changed to always perform floating-point division in Python 3, hence resulting in a float even if the arguments are ints. In Cython, similarly, the '/' operator will result in a double type when applied to integral types.

Since 'usize_t' is a typedef for an unsigned int (from the included "field.h" C header), the correct operator in C for integer division that discards the remainder (floor division for positive numbers) is '//', which Cython also supports with the same semantics.

Let's correct the code to use '//' instead of '/' in the appropriate places for integer division.

Here are the corresponding lines as seen from the encountered error messages:

1. cdef usize_t page = number / PAGE_FULL_COUNT must be corrected to cdef usize_t page = number // PAGE_FULL_COUNT
2. cdef usize_t page_no = number / PAGE_FULL_COUNT must be corrected to cdef usize_t page_no = number // PAGE_FULL_COUNT
3. cdef usize_t page = number / PAGE_FULL_COUNT must be corrected to cdef usize_t page = number // PAGE_FULL_COUNT

Let's apply these changes and create a patch for a pull request. I'll edit the file contents with the corrections made.
