Definition and Usage

The div() method divides each value in the DataFrame with a specified value.

The specified value must be an object that can be divided with the values of the DataFrame. It can be a constant number like the one in the example, or it can be a list-like object like a list [10, 20] or a tuple {"points": 10, "total": 20}, or a Pandas Series or another DataFrame, that fits with the original DataFrame.
