### Divide operator

Basic and Crystal syntax.

##### Usage

`x/y`

Divides value x by value y.

##### Examples

The following examples are applicable to both Basic and Crystal syntax:

`25/5`

Returns 5

`1/3`

Returns .333333

`{file.SALES} / {file.FORECAST}`

Returns .875, where {file.SALES} = 52533, {file.FORECAST} = 60000

`{file.DAYSDUE} / 5`

Returns 22, where {file.DAYSDUE} = 110

Note: If the denominator = 0, the report will be halted with a divide by zero protection. If you want to avoid this type of problem, you should put a test in.

The following example is applicable to Crystal syntax:

If {file.FORECAST} = 0 Then
0
Else
{file.SALES} / {file.FORECAST}
