# Division (/)

Airkit supports the standard division operator `/`. It is used to divide one [Number](../../variable-data-types/the-number-variable-data-type) by another.

## Example

The following example shows how the division operator is used to divide the Number 6 by the Number 2. Note that it returns a another Number: 3, the quotient of 6 divided by 2:

```json
6 / 2 -> 3
```

The division operator will return the quotient even if it is not a whole number. For instance, the following examples shows how the division operator is used to divide the Number 3 by the Number 2:

```json
3 / 2 -> 1.5
```
