Precision Overflow Thresholds for Real v?Div Function
Data Type Threshold Limitations on Input Parameters
single precision abs(a[i]) < abs(b[i]) * FLT_MAX
double precision abs(a[i]) < abs(b[i]) * DBL_MAX

Precision overflow thresholds for the complex v?Div function are beyond the scope of this document.

Specifications for special values of the complex functions are defined according to the following formula

Div(x1+i*y1,x2+i*y2) = (x1+i*y1)*(x2-i*y2)/(x2*x2+y2*y2).

Overflow in a complex function occurs when x2+i*y2 is not zero, x1, x2, y1, y2 are finite numbers, but the real or imaginary part of the exact result is so large that it does not fit the target precision. In that case, the function returns in that part of the result, raises the OVERFLOW exception, and sets the VM Error Status to VML_STATUS_OVERFLOW.
