# DIVIDED_BY

*[View on tines.com](https://www.tines.com/docs/formulas/functions/divided-by/)*

Divides a number by the specified number.

**Categories:** Numbers

## Syntax

```
DIVIDED_BY(number, denominator)
```

## Examples

### Example 1

Input:

```json
{
  "my_action": {
    "message": 16
  }
}
```

Formula:

```
DIVIDED_BY(my_action.message, 4)
```

Output:

```json
4
```

### Example 2: If you divide by a whole number, the result is rounded down to a whole number:

Input:

```json
{
  "my_action": {
    "message": 5
  }
}
```

Formula:

```
DIVIDED_BY(my_action.message, 3)
```

Output:

```json
1
```

### Example 3: If you divide by a number with decimal places, the result will have decimal places:

Input:

```json
{
  "my_action": {
    "message": 5
  }
}
```

Formula:

```
DIVIDED_BY(my_action.message, 3.0)
```

Output:

```json
1.666666666666667
```

### Example 4: You can multiply the denominator by 1.0 to force the result to have decimal places:

Input:

```json
{
  "my_action": {
    "message": 3
  }
}
```

Formula:

```
DIVIDED_BY(5, my_action.message * 1.0)
```

Output:

```json
1.666666666666667
```
