{{Built-in|Divide|÷}} | {{Built-in|Divide|÷}} is a [[dyadic]] [[scalar function]] which gives the arithmetic ratio of its [[argument]]s. Divide shares the [[glyph]] <source lang=apl inline>÷</source> with the monadic arithmetic function [[Reciprocal]], and its result is the left argument divided by the right argument. | ||
