a / b

represents the division of a by b.

Examples

>> 30 / 5
6

>> 1 / 8
1/8

>> Pi / 4
Pi / 4

Use N or a decimal point to force numeric evaluation:

>> Pi / 4.0
0.7853981633974483

>> N(1 / 8)
0.125

Nested divisions:

>> a / b / c
a/(b*c)

>> a / (b / c)
(a*c)/b

>> a / b / (c / (d / e))
(a*d)/(b*c*e)

>> a / (b ^ 2 * c ^ 3 / e)
(a*e)/(b^2*c^3)

>> 1 / 4.0
0.25

>> 10 / 3 // FullForm
Rational(10,3)

>> a / b // FullForm
Times(a, Power(b, -1))
