Divide 2 numbers

Function: Divide 2 numbers​

This action takes two numbers and divides the first number (the "Left argument") by the second number (the "Right argument"). It's a fundamental mathematical operation useful for calculating ratios, averages, or splitting quantities in your application.

Input​

  • Left argument (Number): The first number in your division calculation. This is the number that will be divided.
  • Right argument (Number): The second number in your division calculation. This is the number by which the first number will be divided.

Output​

  • The divided variable name (Number): The numerical result of the division. This value can then be used in subsequent actions, displayed in your application, or stored for later use.

Execution Flow​

Real-Life Examples​

Here are some practical ways you can use the "Divide 2 numbers" action in your applications:

  1. Calculating Per-Unit Cost:

    • Scenario: You have the total cost of an order and the number of items in that order, and you want to find out the cost of a single item.
    • Inputs:
      • Left argument: 250.75 (Total cost of an order)
      • Right argument: 5 (Number of items in the order)
    • Result: The action calculates 250.75 / 5 and stores 50.15 in "The divided variable name". This value represents the cost per item.

  2. Determining a Percentage Share:

    • Scenario: You want to find out what percentage of a total budget a specific department's spending represents.
    • Inputs:
      • Left argument: 15000.00 (Department's spending)
      • Right argument: 100000.00 (Total company budget)
    • Result: The action calculates 15000.00 / 100000.00 and stores 0.15 in "The divided variable name". You can then multiply this by 100 to show it as "15%".

  3. Splitting a Bill Evenly Among Friends:

    • Scenario: You've had dinner with friends, and you need to split the total bill amount equally among everyone.
    • Inputs:
      • Left argument: 88.99 (Total bill amount)
      • Right argument: 4 (Number of people splitting the bill)
    • Result: The action calculates 88.99 / 4 and stores 22.2475 (which you might round to 22.25) in "The divided variable name". This shows how much each person needs to pay.
