ldivide, rdivide

Left or right array division

Syntax

• ldivide(A,B)     A.\B
  rdivide(A,B)     A./B
  

Description

ldivide(A,B) and the equivalent A.\B divides each entry of B by the corresponding entry of A. A and B must be arrays of the same size. A scalar value for either A or B is expanded to an array of the same size as the other.

rdivide(A,B) and the equivalent A./B divides each entry of A by the corresponding entry of B. A and B must be arrays of the same size. A scalar value for either A or B is expanded to an array of the same size as the other.

Example

• A = [1 2 3;4 5 6];
  B = ones(2, 3);
  A.\B
  
  ans =
  
      1.0000    0.5000    0.3333
      0.2500    0.2000    0.1667
