Division Function in Excel

To do this task, use the / (forward slash) arithmetic operator. For example, if you type =10/5 in a cell, the cell displays 2.

Important: Be sure to type an equal sign (=) in the cell before you type the numbers and the / operator; otherwise, Excel will interpret what you type as a date.

The DIVIDE function in Excel is designed for dividing numbers or cell references with ease and precision.
