+Add `Duration.divide` and `Duration.unsafeDivide`.
+
+```ts
+import { Duration, Option } from "effect"
+import assert from "assert"
+
+assert.deepStrictEqual(Duration.divide("10 seconds", 2), Option.some(Duration.decode("5 seconds")))
+assert.deepStrictEqual(Duration.divide("10 seconds", 0), Option.none())
+assert.deepStrictEqual(Duration.divide("1 nano", 1.5), Option.none())
+

+assert.deepStrictEqual(Duration.unsafeDivide("10 seconds", 0), Duration.infinity)
+assert.throws(() => Duration.unsafeDivide("1 nano", 1.5))
