/ : Division Operator

Summary

Divide one numeric value by another.

Syntax

{{operand1 / operand2}}

Precedence

Priority level in expression evaluation (1 = highest, 10 = lowest): 4

Evaluated after: ^

Evaluated before: +, -, <, <=, >, >=, ==, !=, ??, &&, ||

Operands

Returns

Type: Number (Double or Decimal depending on operands)

The quotient of the left operand divided by the right operand.

Examples

Average Calculation

<p>Average: {{format(model.total / model.count, '0.00')}}</p>

Data:

doc.Params["model"] = new {
    total = 487.50m,
    count = 5
};

Output:

<p>Average: $97.50</p>

Unit Price

<p>Price per unit: ${{format(model.totalPrice / model.quantity, '0.00')}}</p> 

Data:

doc.Params["model"] = new {
    totalPrice = 149.99m,
    quantity = 12
};

Output:

<p>Price per unit: $12.50</p>

Percentage Calculation

<p>Completion: {{format((model.completed / model.total) * 100, '0.0')}}%</p> 

Data:

doc.Params["model"] = new {
    completed = 17,
    total = 25
};

Output:

<p>Completion: 68.0%</p>

Rate Calculation

<p>Speed: {{format(model.distance / model.time, '0.0')}} mph</p> 

Ratio Comparison

<p>Efficiency Ratio: {{format(model.output / model.input, '0.00')}}</p>

{{#if model.output / model.input > 1.5}}
  <span class="excellent">Highly efficient</span>
{{else if model.output / model.input > 1.0}}
  <span class="good">Efficient</span>
{{else}}
  <span class="poor">Needs improvement</span>
{{/if}} 

Notes

• Works with all numeric types (int, long, double, decimal)
• Result is typically a decimal or double for precision
• Division by zero will throw an error
• Use round(), ceiling(), or floor() to control decimal places
• For integer division (with remainder), use % (modulus) operator
• Division has same precedence as multiplication
• Use parentheses to control order of operations
