Operands
<nNumber1> is the dividend of the division operation.

Description
The division operator (/) returns a numeric value from the division of
<nNumber1> by <nNumber2>.
Note: Dividing <nNumber1> with zero value for <nNumber2> results in
a runtime error.

using different operands:
SET DECIMALS TO 16
? 3 / 0 // Result: Runtime error
? 3 / -2 // Result: -1.500000000
? -3 / 2 // Result: -1.500000000
? -3 / 0 // Result: Runtime error
? -1 / -3 // Result: +0.333333333
? -2 / 3 // Result: -0.666666667
