This is really not the kind of problem LLMs are bad at! But since you insist, given the LaTeX, Claude 3.5 Sonnet correctly stated the theorem in full while inventing notation for the floor operation (it did correctly note unprompted what the right function was and how to obtain it from mathlib, but it incorrectly attempted to define syntax sugar for it).

The hard part isn't getting the formalisation right sometimes, it's getting it right reliably (and unlike mistakes in the formal part, there's no way for the system to check itself in that part).
IDK, even for translation between languages outside of mathematics, missing small qualifiers that change the whole meaning of the sentence is a worrying failure mode I've seen, and with mathematical problems there are a lot more cases like that.
