| Label | Explanation | Data Type |
Input raster or constant value 1 | The input whose values will be divided by the second input. A number can be used as an input for this parameter, provided a raster is specified for the other parameter. To specify a number for both inputs, the cell size and extent must first be set in the environment. | Raster Layer; Constant |
Input raster or constant value 2 | The input whose values the first input are to be divided by. A number can be used as an input for this parameter, provided a raster is specified for the other parameter. To specify a number for both inputs, the cell size and extent must first be set in the environment. | Raster Layer; Constant |
Output raster | The output raster. The cell values are the quotient of the first input raster (dividend) divided by the second input (divisor). | Raster Dataset |

Summary
Divides the values of two rasters on a cell-by-cell basis.
Illustration
Usage
The order of inputs is relevant for this tool.
When a number is divided by zero, the output result is NoData.
The data types of the inputs to determine the data type of the output:
- If both inputs are integers, an integer division is performed, and the output result is an integer. For example, if 3 is divided by 2, the output is 1.
- If either input is floating-point, a floating-point division is performed, and the output result is a floating-point value. For example, if 3 is divided by 2.0, the output is 1.5.
If both inputs are single band rasters or one of the inputs is a constant, the output will be a single band raster.
-
If both inputs are multiband rasters, the tool will perform the operation on each band from one input, and the output will be a multiband raster. The number of bands in each multiband input must be the same.
-
If one of the inputs is a multiband raster and the other input is a constant, the tool will perform the operation using the constant value for each band in the multiband input, and the output will be a multiband raster.
In ArcPy, if both inputs are multidimensional rasters with the same number of variables, the tool will perform the operation for all slices with the same dimension value, and the output will be a multidimensional raster. The variables in the inputs must have the same dimensions or common dimension but no uncommon dimensions.
If both inputs have one variable but different names, set the matchMultidimensionalVariable geoprocessing environment to False to perform the operation.
In ArcPy, if one of the inputs is a multidimensional raster and the other input is a constant, the tool will perform the operation for all slices for all variables using the constant value, and the output will be a multidimensional raster.
Parameters
arcpy.ddd.Divide(in_raster_or_constant1, in_raster_or_constant2, out_raster)
| Name | Explanation | Data Type |
in_raster_or_constant1 | The input whose values will be divided by the second input. A number can be used as an input for this parameter, provided a raster is specified for the other parameter. To specify a number for both inputs, the cell size and extent must first be set in the environment. | Raster Layer; Constant |
in_raster_or_constant2 | The input whose values the first input are to be divided by. A number can be used as an input for this parameter, provided a raster is specified for the other parameter. To specify a number for both inputs, the cell size and extent must first be set in the environment. | Raster Layer; Constant |
out_raster | The output raster. The cell values are the quotient of the first input raster (dividend) divided by the second input (divisor). | Raster Dataset |
