Handlebar Helper Function: Divide

Divides two numeric arguments and returns their quotient. The function can handle both integers and floating-point numbers, and attempts to convert strings to numbers.

This helper is available in the Winter ’26 release of Marketing Cloud Next (API version 65.0).

Parameter	Type	Description
dividend	Number or String	Required. The number to be divided. Must be a number or convertible to a number.
divisor	Number or String	Required. The number to divide by. Must be a number or convertible to a number, and can’t be 0.

The function returns the arithmetic quotient of the two input values. If you provide more than two arguments, the operation divides only the first two. The result is always a number rounded to 2 decimal places. If you divide by 0, the operation throws an exception.

If either input is a string, the operation tries to convert it to a number. If a string value can’t be converted to a number, the operation throws an exception. Division by zero throws an exception.
