Divides one BigInteger value by another and returns the result.

public:
 static System::Numerics::BigInteger Divide(System::Numerics::BigInteger dividend, System::Numerics::BigInteger divisor);

public static System.Numerics.BigInteger Divide (System.Numerics.BigInteger dividend, System.Numerics.BigInteger divisor);

static member Divide : System.Numerics.BigInteger * System.Numerics.BigInteger -> System.Numerics.BigInteger

Public Shared Function Divide (dividend As BigInteger, divisor As BigInteger) As BigInteger

Parameters

dividend: BigInteger

The value to be divided.

divisor: BigInteger

The value to divide by.

Returns

BigInteger

The quotient of the division.

Exceptions

DivideByZeroException

divisor is 0 (zero).

Examples

The following example creates an array of BigInteger values. It then uses each element as the quotient in a division operation that uses the Divide method, the division operator (/), and the DivRem method.

using System.Numerics;

                                 divisor + BigInteger.One };

                           quotient, remainder);

Remarks

The Divide method performs integer division; any remainder that results from the division is discarded. To perform integer division while preserving the remainder, call the DivRem method. To retrieve only the remainder, call the Remainder method.

The Divide method can be used by languages that do not support operator overloading. Its behavior is identical to division using the division operator.
