# Function divide
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Divide two values, `x / y`.
|
||
|
|
To divide matrices, `x` is multiplied with the inverse of `y`: `x * inv(y)`.

## Examples
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
math.divide(2, 3) // returns number 0.6666666666666666
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
const a = math.complex(5, 14)
|
||
|
|
const b = math.complex(4, 1)
|
||
|
|
math.divide(a, b) // returns Complex 2 + 3i
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
const c = [[7, -6], [13, -4]]
|
||
|
|
const d = [[1, 2], [4, 3]]
|
||
|
|
math.divide(c, d) // returns Array [[-9, 4], [-11, 6]]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
const e = math.unit('18 km')
|
||
|
|
math.divide(e, 4.5) // returns Unit 4 km
|
||
|
|
```
