Dividing elements of array Python

Question

Hello I'm a beginner programmer and I know there must be a simple way to do this but for some reason can't find the answer. I have two arrays and just want to divide each element by the elements in the other array. for example

a= np.array([2,4,6,8,10,12])
b=np.array([2,1,2,1,2,1])
so that the result is (1,4,3,8,5,12)....

I tried doing this over a for loop :

for i in range(a):
    c = a[i]/b[i]

but it doesnt work and gives the error "TypeError: only integer arrays with one element can be converted to an index"

Solution

You can just divide the arrays themselves (a/b)

In [1]: import numpy as np

In [2]: a = np.array([2,4,6,8,10,12])

In [3]: b = np.array([2,1,2,1,2,1])

In [4]: a/b
Out[4]: array([ 1,  4,  3,  8,  5, 12])

This happens because numpy overloads the __div__ method of the ndarray to divide the elements of the arrays and output the resulting array (the implementation is mostly in C code so it'd be difficult to link you to exactly where this happens)
