The  **`divide` method** of the `BigInteger` class can divide the current `BigInteger` object value by the passed `BigInteger` value.

> In Java, the **`BigInteger`** class handles vast integer mathematical operations outside the limits of all primitive types.
# 
## Syntax

```java
public BigInteger divide(BigInteger val)
```

## Parameters
This method takes a `BigInteger` object as a parameter. 

## Return value


The `divide` method returns a `BigInteger` object. The value of the returned `BigInteger` object is the division of the current `BigInteger` value by the passed argument value. 

## Code

The example below demonstrates how to use the `divide` method:

import java.math.BigInteger;

class BigIntegerDivideExample {
    public static void main( String args[] ) {
        BigInteger val1 = new BigInteger("246246");
        BigInteger val2 = new BigInteger("2");
        BigInteger result = val1.divide(val2);
        System.out.println(result);
    }
}

#  
## Explanation 

* In line 1 from the code above, we import the `BigInteger` class.
```
import java.math.BigInteger;
```

* In lines 5 and 6, we create two `BigInteger` 
 objects, `val1` with value `246246` and `val2` with value `2`. 

```
BigInteger val1 = new BigInteger("246246");
BigInteger val2 = new BigInteger("2");
```
* In line 7, we call the `divide` method on the `val1` object with `val2` as an argument. This method call will return a `BigInteger` that has a value equal to the division of `val1` by `val2`.

```
BigInteger result = val1.divide(val2); //123123
```

What is the BigInteger.divide method in Java?

Java's BigInteger.divide method divides one BigInteger by another, returning the quotient as a BigInteger.
