x ÷ y
Return x divided by y. If y = 0, this operation returns an error message indicating the singularity. If either x, y, or both, are vectors, division is performed element-wise. If y is a square matrix, then the result is x · y-1, that is, x times the inverse of y. Notes on the inverse operator apply.
x and y are both scalars, a scalar and a vector, both vectors, or both matrices. y cannot be 0.
The indeterminate form 0/0 responds to the setting on the Calculation Tab of Worksheet Options from the Tools menu. For new worksheets, 0/0 gives an error by default.
To divide every element of an array by the corresponding element of another array of the same size, use the vectorize operator.
