Divide by the specified value.
- digits

If specified and less than the number of significant digits of the result, the result is rounded to that number of digits, according to
BigDecimal.mode.If digits is 0, the result is the same as for the / operator or
quo.If digits is not specified, the result is an integer, by analogy with
Float#div; see alsoBigDecimal#divmod.
Examples:
Example
a = BigDecimal("4") b = BigDecimal("3") a.div(b, 3) # => 0.133e1 a.div(b, 0) # => 0.1333333333333333333e1 a / b # => 0.1333333333333333333e1 a.quo(b) # => 0.1333333333333333333e1 a.div(b) # => 1
