Remarks

The Division method defines the division operation for complex numbers. It enables code such as the following:

Dim c1 As New Complex(2.3, 3.7)
Dim c2 As New Complex(1.4, 2.3)
Dim c3 As Complex = c1 / c2

Complex c1 = new Complex(2.3, 3.7);
Complex c2 = new Complex(1.4, 2.3);
Complex c3 = c1 / c2;

The division of a complex number, a + bi, and a second complex number, c + di, takes the following form:

((ac + bd) / (c2 + d2)) + ((bc - ad) / (c2 + d2)i

If the division results in an overflow in either the real or imaginary component, the value of that component is either Double.PositiveInfinity or Double.NegativeInfinity.

Languages that do not support custom operators and operator overloading can call the Divide method instead.
