BigInteger.Division(BigInteger, BigInteger) Operator

Definition

Namespace:

System.Numerics

Assembly:

System.Runtime.Numerics.dll

Source:

BigInteger.cs

Divides a specified BigInteger value by another specified BigInteger value by using integer division.

public:
 static System::Numerics::BigInteger operator /(System::Numerics::BigInteger dividend, System::Numerics::BigInteger divisor) = System::Numerics::IDivisionOperators<System::Numerics::BigInteger, System::Numerics::BigInteger, System::Numerics::BigInteger>::op_Division;

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

static member ( / ) : System.Numerics.BigInteger * System.Numerics.BigInteger -> System.Numerics.BigInteger

Public Shared Operator / (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 integral result of the division.

Implements

Division(TSelf, TOther)

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;

Remarks

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

BigInteger num1 = 100045632194;
BigInteger num2 = 90329434;
BigInteger quotient = num1 / num2;

let num1 = 100045632194I
let num2 = 90329434I
let quotient = num1 / num2

Dim num1 As BigInteger = 100045632194
Dim num2 As BigInteger = 90329434
Dim quotient As BigInteger = num1 / num2

Languages that do not support custom operators and operator overloading can call the Divide method instead.

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