Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income TaxesThe provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate of 22.0% for the three months ended November 30, 2021, compared to 25.1% for the respective prior year comparable period. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to unfavorable adjustments recorded in the prior year comparable period, related to an IRS audit settlement for research and development tax credits, that are not recurring in the current year.For the nine months ended November 30, 2021, the effective tax rate was 22.9%, compared to 32.3% for the prior year comparable period. The current year decrease in the effective tax rate of 940 basis points is the result of the prior year impact of restructuring and impairment charges and an IRS settlement for research and development tax credits for multiple years, which more than offset current year recognition of uncertain tax positions.
