Duration dividedBy(long) method in Java with Examples

The dividedBy(long) method of Duration Class in java.time package is used to get an immutable copy of this duration divided by the value passed as the parameter.

Syntax:

public Duration dividedBy(long divisor)

Parameters: This method accepts a parameter divisor which is the value to be divided. It can be positive or negative value.

Return Value: This method returns a Duration which is an immutable copy of the existing duration with the parameter value divided to it.

Exception: This method throws ArithmeticException if numeric overflow occurs.

Below examples illustrate the Duration.dividedBy() method:

Example 1:




// Java code to illustrate dividedBy() method
  
import java.time.Duration;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // Duration 1 using parse() method
        Duration duration1
            = Duration.parse("P2DT3H4M");
  
        // divisor value
        long divisor = 2;
  
        // Get the duration divided
        // using dividedBy() method
        System.out.println(duration1
                               .dividedBy(divisor));
    }
}


Output:

PT25H32M

Example 2:




// Java code to illustrate dividedBy() method
  
import java.time.Duration;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // Duration 1 using parse() method
        Duration duration1
            = Duration.parse("P2DT3H4M");
  
        // divisor value
        long divisor = 10;
  
        // Get the duration divided
        // using dividedBy() method
        System.out.println(duration1
                               .dividedBy(divisor));
    }
}


Output:

PT5H6M24S
