operand1 / operand2
Examples
In the following example, we take two numeric values and find the result of division of the first number by the second number, using Division (/) Operator.
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <body> <pre id="output"></pre> <script> var a = 4; var b = 3; var result = a / b; document.getElementById('output').innerHTML += a + ' / ' + b + ' is ' + result; </script> </body> </html>
In the following example, we take two numeric values in exponential notation and find their division using Division (+) Operator.
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <body> <pre id="output"></pre> <script> var a = 41e-2; var b = 121e-3; var result = a / b; document.getElementById('output').innerHTML += a + ' / ' + b + ' is ' + result; </script> </body> </html>
