# Function divide
|
|
|
|
Divide two values, `x / y`.
|
|
To divide matrices, `x` is multiplied with the inverse of `y`: `x * inv(y)`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
math.divide(x, y)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Parameters
|
|
|
|
Parameter | Type | Description
|
|
--------- | ---- | -----------
|
|
`x` | Number | BigNumber | Boolean | Complex | Unit | Array | Matrix | null | Numerator
|
|
`y` | Number | BigNumber | Boolean | Complex | Array | Matrix | null | Denominator
|
|
|
|
### Returns
|
|
|
|
Type | Description
|
|
---- | -----------
|
|
Number | BigNumber | Complex | Unit | Array | Matrix | Quotient, `x / y`
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
math.divide(2, 3); // returns Number 0.6666666666666666
|
|
|
|
var a = math.complex(5, 14);
|
|
var b = math.complex(4, 1);
|
|
math.divide(a, b); // returns Complex 2 + 3i
|
|
|
|
var c = [[7, -6], [13, -4]];
|
|
var d = [[1, 2], [4, 3]];
|
|
math.divide(c, d); // returns Array [[-9, 4], [-11, 6]]
|
|
|
|
var e = math.unit('18 km');
|
|
math.divide(e, 4.5); // returns Unit 4 km
|
|
```
