Divides num1 by num2.
num1The dividend, as a string.
num2The divisor, as a string.
scale
This parameter is used to set the number of digits after the decimal place in the result.
If null, it will default to the default scale set with bcscale(),
or fallback to the value of the
bcmath.scale INI directive.
Returns the result of the division as a string.
This function throws a ValueError in the following cases:
num1 or num2
is not a well-formed BCMath numeric string.
scale is outside the valid range.
This function throws a DivisionByZeroError
exception if num2 is 0.
