divided_by
Divides a number by another number.
The result is rounded down to the nearest integer (that is, the floor) if the divisor is an integer.
Input
{{ 16 | divided_by: 4 }}
{{ 5 | divided_by: 3 }}
Output
4
1
Controlling rounding
divided_by
produces a result of the same type as the divisor — that is, if you divide by an integer, the result will be an integer. If you divide by a float (a number with a decimal in it), the result will be a float.
For example, here the divisor is an integer:
Input
{{ 20 | divided_by: 7 }}
Output
2
Here it is a float:
Input
{{ 20 | divided_by: 7.0 }}
Output
2.857142857142857
Changing variable types
You might want to use a variable as a divisor, in which case you can’t simply add .0
to convert it to a float. In these cases, you can assign
a version of your variable converted to a float using the times
filter.
In this example, we’re dividing by a variable that contains an integer, so we get an integer:
Input
{% assign my_integer = 7 %}
{{ 20 | divided_by: my_integer }}
Output
2
Here, we multiply the variable by 1.0
to get a float, then divide by the float instead:
Input
{% assign my_integer = 7 %}
{% assign my_float = my_integer | times: 1.0 %}
{{ 20 | divided_by: my_float }}
Output
