  /**
   * Divide two values, `x / y`.
   * To divide matrices, `x` is multiplied with the inverse of `y`: `x * inv(y)`.
   *
   * Syntax:
   *
   *    math.divide(x, y)
   *
   * Examples:
   *
   *    math.divide(2, 3)            // returns number 0.6666666666666666
   *
   *    const a = math.complex(5, 14)
   *    const b = math.complex(4, 1)
   *    math.divide(a, b)            // returns Complex 2 + 3i
   *
   *    const c = [[7, -6], [13, -4]]
   *    const d = [[1, 2], [4, 3]]
   *    math.divide(c, d)            // returns Array [[-9, 4], [-11, 6]]
   *
   *    const e = math.unit('18 km')
   *    math.divide(e, 4.5)          // returns Unit 4 km
   *

   *
   *    multiply
   *
   * @param  {number | BigNumber | Fraction | Complex | Unit | Array | Matrix} x   Numerator
   * @param  {number | BigNumber | Fraction | Complex | Array | Matrix} y          Denominator
   * @return {number | BigNumber | Fraction | Complex | Unit | Array | Matrix}                      Quotient, `x / y`
