### Colab (Python)

```python
display('5 / 10:', ee.Number(5).divide(ee.Number(10)))  # 0.5
display('5 / 10.2:', ee.Number(5).divide(ee.Number(10.2)))  # 0.490196078
display('5 / -10.2:', ee.Number(5).divide(ee.Number(-10.2)))  # -0.490196078
display('-10.2 / 5:', ee.Number(-10.2).divide(ee.Number(5)))  # -2.04
display('-10.2 / -5:', ee.Number(-10.2).divide(ee.Number(-5)))  # 2.04
display('0 / 10:', ee.Number(0).divide(ee.Number(10)))  # 0
display('10 / 0:', ee.Number(10).divide(ee.Number(0)))  # 0
