# operator ~/ method

Duration operator ~/ (int quotient)

Divides this Duration by the given `quotient` and returns the truncated result as a new Duration object.

Throws an IntegerDivisionByZeroException if `quotient` is `0`.

## Implementation

    Duration operator ~/(int quotient) {
      // By doing the check here instead of relying on "~/" below we get the
      // exception even with dart2js.
      if (quotient == 0) throw new IntegerDivisionByZeroException();
      return new Duration._microseconds(_duration ~/ quotient);
    }
