Use the DIVIDE formula

Open a browser, access Google Sheets and open a spreadsheet.

Click in a blank cell and type = DIVIDE (,) into the cell or formula input field, replace and with the two numbers you want to divide.

Note : Dividend is divisor and divisor is divisor.

You can also use data in other cells. Instead of numbers, type the number of the cell and Sheets will automatically place the whole number from that cell into its position.

After entering the number or number of cells, pressing Enter and Sheets will display the results in the cell.

Use the division operand

This method uses the Divide (/) operand to find the result of several numbers. The only difference is that if there are more than two numbers, you can enter as many as you like while the previous formula is limited to two.

From a Google Sheets spreadsheet, click on an empty cell and type / in the cell or in the formula input field, replace and with the two numbers you want to divide.

Like before, you can reference other cells in the spreadsheet. Replace the number with the number of cells containing the number in it.

After entering the number or cell number, press the Enter key and Sheets will calculate the result.

If you work with tables and want to split data from rows 1 and 2 into row 3, Google Sheets has a feature that can be used to apply formulas to the remaining cells in row 3. It will fill the remaining cells with formulas and results.

Double click the small blue square and the rest of the table will be filled out with the result. This feature can be used for the above formula but it only works when using cell references.

I wish you successful implementation!
