Math Operations

The Divide block outputs the result of dividing its first input by its second. The inputs can be scalars, a scalar and a nonscalar, or two nonscalars that have the same dimensions. The Divide block is functionally a Product block that has two block parameter values preset:
Multiplication: Element-wise(.*)
Number of Inputs: */
Setting non-default values for either of those parameters can change a Divide block to be functionally equivalent to a Product block or a Product of Elements block. See the documentation of those two blocks for more information.
The Divide block has the same parameters and dialog box as the Product block. If all you need is to divide two inputs to create an output, you can use the Divide block with default parameter values. If you need additional capabilities, see the Product block documentation, which also describes the capabilities of the Divide block's Signal Attributes Pane.
These examples show the output of the Divide block for some typical inputs using default block parameter values.
