Describe the division function in Excel?

Answer 1

To divide A (the numerator) by B (the denominator) in excel, we use the / operator in an A/B format. To do it in Excel we can use cell references. So if the value for A was in cell A1 and the value for B was in B1 then we would enter the following in a cell:

=A1/B1

Answer 2

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.
