# std::ratio_divide

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | numeric‎ | ratio

Defined in header `<ratio>` |  |
template< class R1, class R2 > using ratio_divide = /* see below */; |  | (since C++11)

The alias template `std::ratio_divide` denotes the result of dividing two exact rational fractions represented by the std::ratio specializations `R1` and `R2`.

The result is a std::ratio specialization std::ratio<U, V>, such that given Num == R1::num * R2::den and Denom == R1::den * R2::num (computed without arithmetic overflow), `U` is std::ratio<Num, Denom>::num and `V` is std::ratio<Num, Denom>::den.

### Notes

If `U` or `V` is not representable in std::intmax_t, the program is ill-formed. If `Num` or `Denom` is not representable in std::intmax_t, the program is ill-formed unless the implementation yields correct values for `U` and `V`.

The above definition requires that the result of std::ratio_divide<R1, R2> be already reduced to lowest terms; for example, std::ratio_divide<std::ratio<1, 12>, std::ratio<1, 6>> is the same type as std::ratio<1, 2>.

### Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <ratio>

    int main()
    {
        using two_third = std::ratio<2, 3>;
        using one_sixth = std::ratio<1, 6>;
        using quotient = std::ratio_divide<two_third, one_sixth>;
        static_assert(std::ratio_equal_v<quotient, std::ratio<0B100, 0X001>>);
        std::cout << "(2/3) / (1/6) = " << quotient::num << '/' << quotient::den << '\n';
    }

Output:

    (2/3) / (1/6) = 4/1
