Definition

Namespace:

System

Assembly:

System.Runtime.dll

Source:

Decimal.cs

Divides two specified Decimal values.

public:
 static System::Decimal operator /(System::Decimal d1, System::Decimal d2) = System::Numerics::IDivisionOperators<System::Decimal, System::Decimal, System::Decimal>::op_Division;

public static decimal operator / (decimal d1, decimal d2);

static member ( / ) : decimal * decimal -> decimal

Public Shared Operator / (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.

Implements

Division(TSelf, TOther)

Exceptions

DivideByZeroException

d2 is zero.

OverflowException

The return value is less than Decimal.MinValue or greater than Decimal.MaxValue.

Remarks

The Division method defines the operation of the division operator for Decimal values. It enables code such as the following:

using System;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      Decimal number1 = 16.8m;
      Decimal number2 = 4.1m;
      Decimal number3 = number1 / number2;
      Console.WriteLine("{0:N2} / {1:N2} = {2:N2}",
                        number1, number2, number3);
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//        16.80 / 4.10 = 4.10

let number1 = 16.8m
let number2 = 4.1m
let number3 = number1 / number2
printfn $"{number1:N2} / {number2:N2} = {number3:N2}"

// The example displays the following output:
//        16.80 / 4.10 = 4.10

Module Example
   Public Sub Main()
      Dim number1 As Decimal = 16.8d 
      Dim number2 As Decimal = 4.1d 
      Dim number3 As Decimal = number1 / number2
      Console.WriteLine("{0:N2} / {1:N2} = {2:N2}", 
                        number1, number2, number3)
   End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
'       16.80 / 4.10 = 4.10

If the language you're using doesn't support custom operators, call the Divide method instead.

The equivalent method for this operator is Decimal.Divide(Decimal, Decimal)
