Return Value
The function returns the arithmetic quotient of the two input values. If you provide more than two arguments, the operation divides only the first two. The result is always a number rounded to 2 decimal places. If you divide by 0, the operation throws an exception.
If either input is a string, the operation tries to convert it to a number. If a string value can't be converted to a number, the operation throws an exception. Division by zero throws an exception.
