Create a 2-by-1 quaternion array, and divide it element-by-element by a real scalar.

A = quaternion([1:4;5:8])
A = 2×1 quaternion array
     1 + 2i + 3j + 4k
     5 + 6i + 7j + 8k


B = 2;
C = A./B
C = 2×1 quaternion array
     0.5 +   1i + 1.5j +   2k
     2.5 +   3i + 3.5j +   4k

Create a 2-by-2 quaternion array, and divide it element-by-element by another 2-by-2 quaternion array.

q1 = quaternion(magic(4));
A = reshape(q1,2,2)
A = 2×2 quaternion array
     16 +  2i +  3j + 13k      9 +  7i +  6j + 12k
      5 + 11i + 10j +  8k      4 + 14i + 15j +  1k


q2 = quaternion([1:4;3:6;2:5;4:7]);
B = reshape(q2,2,2)
B = 2×2 quaternion array
     1 + 2i + 3j + 4k     2 + 3i + 4j + 5k
     3 + 4i + 5j + 6k     4 + 5i + 6j + 7k


C = A./B
C = 2×2 quaternion array
          2.7 -      0.1i -      2.1j -      1.7k       2.2778 + 0.092593i -  0.46296j -  0.57407k

Input Arguments

collapse all

Dividend, specified as a quaternion object, an array of quaternion objects of any dimensionality, a real scalar, or an array of real numbers of any dimensionality. Numeric values must be of data type single or double.

A and B must have compatible sizes. In the simplest cases, they can be the same size or one can be a scalar. Two inputs have compatible sizes if, for every dimension, the dimension sizes of the inputs are the same or one of the dimensions is 1.

Divisor, specified as a quaternion object, an array of quaternion objects of any dimensionality, a real scalar, or an array of real numbers of any dimensionality. Numeric values must be of data type single or double.

A and B must have compatible sizes. In the simplest cases, they can be the same size or one can be a scalar. Two inputs have compatible sizes if, for every dimension, the dimension sizes of the inputs are the same or one of the dimensions is 1.

Output Arguments

Result of quaternion division, returned as a quaternion object or an array of quaternion objects.
