Syntax

X = A/b

X = mrdivide(A, b)

Description

example

X = A/b performs right-matrix division.

X = mrdivide(A, b) is an alternative way to execute X = A/b.

Divide fi Matrix by a Constant

Open Live Script

In this example, you use the forward slash (/) operator to perform right matrix division on a 3-by-3 magic square of fi objects. Because the numerator input is a fi object, the denominator input b must be a scalar.

A = fi(magic(3))

A=3×3 object

Perform Matrix Division

Open Live Script

You can perform right-matrix division when neither input is a fi object. The matrix dimensions must be compatible for matrix division.

A = [2, 3, 1; 0, 8, 4; 1, 1, 0]

A = 3×3

     2     3     1
     0     8     4
     1     1     0

B = [7, 6, 6; 1, 0, 5; 9, 0, 4]

B = 3×3

     7     6     6
     1     0     5
     9     0     4

X = mrdivide(A,B)

X = 3×3

Input Arguments

collapse all

`A` — Numerator
scalar | vector | matrix | multidimensional array

Numerator, specified as a scalar, vector, matrix, or multidimensional array. If one or both of the inputs is a fi object, then b must be a scalar. When b is a scalar, mrdivide is equivalent to rdivide.

`b` — Denominator
scalar | vector | matrix | multidimensional array

Denominator, specified as a real scalar, vector, matrix, or multidimensional array. If one or both of the inputs is a fi object, then b must be a scalar. When b is a scalar, mrdivide is equivalent to rdivide.

If neither input is a fi object, then the sizes of the input matrices must be compatible for matrix division.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | logical | fi

Output Arguments

`X` — Quotient
scalar | vector | matrix | multidimensional array

Solution, returned as an array with the same dimensions as the numerator input A. When A is complex, the real and imaginary parts of A are independently divided by b.
