Java BigInteger divide() method

The divide() method of Java BigInteger class is used to divide two BigInteger values.This method returns a BigInteger whose value is (this / val).

Syntax:

Returns:

This method returns a BigInteger whose value is (this / val)

Throws:

ArithmeticException- if val is zero.

Note: Since the result would be BigInteger and would not be able to hold fractions then the remainder would be discarded.

Example 1

import java.math.BigInteger;
public class BigIntegerDivideExample1{
public static void main(String[] args){

// create 3 BigIntegerobjects
BigInteger big1,big2,big3;
big1= new BigInteger("-111"); 
big2= new BigInteger("5");  

// divide big1 with big2
big3= big1.divide(big2);   

String str="Result of divide operation is "+big3;
System.out.println(str);   
}
}

Test it Now

Output:

Result of divideoperation is-22

Example 2

import java.math.BigInteger;
public class BigIntegerDivideExample2{
public static void main(String[] args){

// create 3 BigIntegerobjects
BigInteger big1,big2,big3;
big1= new BigInteger("-111"); 
big2= new BigInteger("-5");  

// divide big1 with big2
 big3= big1.divide(big2);   

String str="Result of divide operation is "+big3;
System.out.println(str);   
}
}

Test it Now

Output:

Result of divideoperation is 22

Example 3

import java.math.BigInteger;
public class BigIntegerDivideExample3{
public static void main(String[] args){

// create 3 BigIntegerobjects
BigInteger big1,big2,big3;
big1= new BigInteger("111"); 
big2= new BigInteger("0");  

// divide big1 with big2
 big3= big1.divide(big2);   

String str="Result ofdivide operation is "+big3;
System.out.println(str);   
}
}

Test it Now

Output:

java.lang.ArithmeticException: BigInteger divide by zero
