If you want Excel to divide one number by another, use the "/" character. For example, if I want to divide 4 by 2 this is what I would enter in a cell:

=4/2

Excel will display the result of the division. In this case, 2. You can also divide using cell references. Lets say cell A1 contains the number 4 and A2 contains the number 2. Enter the following in the cell where you want the result:

=A1/A2

Again, Excel will display the result (2) in the cell where you entered the formula.
