Divides two specified Decimal values.

public:
 static System::Decimal Divide(System::Decimal d1, System::Decimal d2);

public static decimal Divide(decimal d1, decimal d2);

static member Divide : decimal * decimal -> decimal

Public Shared Function Divide (d1 As Decimal, d2 As Decimal) As Decimal

Parameters

d1: Decimal

The dividend.

d2: Decimal

The divisor.

Returns

Decimal

The result of dividing d1 by d2.

Exceptions

DivideByZeroException

d2 is zero.

OverflowException

The return value (that is, the quotient) is less than Decimal.MinValue or greater than Decimal.MaxValue.

Examples

The following example calls the Divide method to divide a range of values by 22.1.

using System;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      // Divide a series of numbers by 22.1
      Decimal dividend = 1230.0m;
      Decimal divisor = 22.1m;
      for (int ctr = 0; ctr <= 10; ctr++) {
         Console.WriteLine("{0:N1} / {1:N1} = {2:N4}", dividend, divisor,
                           Decimal.Divide(dividend, divisor));
         dividend += .1m;
      }
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       1,230.0 / 22.1 = 55.6561
//       1,230.1 / 22.1 = 55.6606
//       1,230.2 / 22.1 = 55.6652
//       1,230.3 / 22.1 = 55.6697
//       1,230.4 / 22.1 = 55.6742
//       1,230.5 / 22.1 = 55.6787
//       1,230.6 / 22.1 = 55.6833
//       1,230.7 / 22.1 = 55.6878
//       1,230.8 / 22.1 = 55.6923
//       1,230.9 / 22.1 = 55.6968
//       1,231.0 / 22.1 = 55.7014

open System

// Divide a series of numbers by 22.1
let dividend = 1230.0m
let divisor = 22.1m
for i = 0 to 10 do
    printfn $"{dividend:N1} / {divisor:N1} = {Decimal.Divide(dividend + (decimal i) * 0.1m, divisor):N4}"

// The example displays the following output:
