/ Division--binary (Mathematical) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Syntax <nNumber1> / <nNumber2> Type Numeric Operands <nNumber1> is the dividend of the division operation. <nNumber2> is the divisor of the division operation. Description The division operator (/) returns a numeric value from the division of <nNumber1> by <nNumber2>. Note: Dividing <nNumber1> with zero value for <nNumber2> results in a runtime error. Examples . This example shows division results to 16 decimal places, using different operands: SET DECIMALS TO 16 ? 3 / 0 // Result: Runtime error ? 3 / -2 // Result: -1.500000000 ? -3 / 2 // Result: -1.500000000 ? -3 / 0 // Result: Runtime error ? -1 / -3 // Result: +0.333333333 ? -2 / 3 // Result: -0.666666667 ? 2 / -3 // Result: -0.666666667 ? 1 / -3 // Result: -0.333333333
