# unitDivided(by:)

Creates a complex unit by dividing the receiving unit by another unit.

```
func unitDivided(by unit: HKUnit) -> HKUnit
```

## Parameters

`unit`

The unit to be divided.

## Return Value

A new, complex unit.

## Discussion

This method creates a new, complex unit by dividing one unit by another. For example, you can create a meters-per-second unit by dividing a meters unit by a seconds unit, as shown below.

```objc
HKUnit *meters = [HKUnit meterUnit];
HKUnit *seconds = [HKUnit secondUnit];
HKUnit *metersPerSecond = [meters unitDividedByUnit:seconds];
```
