*DIVIDE TWO VALUES*
===================

Divides two scalar values (Value 1 ÷ Value 2) and returns the quotient. Use this worker whenever a simple arithmetic division is needed inside a workflow, such as normalising a result or computing a ratio.

     - Required
     - Description
   * - Numerator
     - value1
     - scalar
     - 1
     - ✓
     - Numerator — the scalar dividend; defaults to 1. Supply any dimensionless or unit-bearing numeric value that will be divided.
   * - Denominator
     - value2
     - scalar
     - 1
     - ✓
     - Denominator — the scalar divisor; defaults to 1. Must be non-zero to avoid division-by-zero; supply the value by which the numerator is divided.
   * - Format
     - format
     - scalar
     - %s
     - ✓
     - Python-style format string (e.g. '%.4f', '%s') controlling how the output scalar is rendered; defaults to '%s' (plain string representation).
