| definition: |
a mathematical sign made up of a small horizontal line with one dot above it and one dot below it ( ÷ ). It indicates that the number coming before it is to be divided by the number coming after it.
When you see a division sign, you read it with the words "divided by." So, if you see something like 48 ÷ 12 = 4, you read it like this: "Forty-eight divided by twelve equals four." |
