Haskell: div vs /

Both /, div are used to perform division. Only difference is / performs floating-point division only, for integers division we can use div.

*Main> 10 / 9
1.1111111111111112
*Main> 
*Main> div 10 9
1
*Main> 10 `div` 9
1

You can use ‘/’ in prefix notation also by using parenthesis.

*Main> (/) 10 9
1.1111111111111112
