numpy.divide(arr1, arr2, out = None, where = True, casting = 'same_kind', order = 'K', dtype = None) :Array element from first array is divided by elements from second element (all happens element-wise). Both arr1 and arr2 must have same shape and element in arr2 must not be zero; otherwise it will raise an error.
Parameters :arr1 :[array_like]Input array or object which works as dividend.arr2 :[array_like]Input array or object which works as divisor.out :[ndarray, optional]Output array with same dimensions as Input array, placed with result.**kwargs :allows you to pass keyword variable length of argument to a function. It is used when we want to handle named argument in a function.where :[array_like, optional]True value means to calculate the universal functions(ufunc) at that position, False value means to leave the value in the output alone.
Return :An array witharr1/arr2(element-wise) as elements of output array.
