- This page describes the dyadic arithmetic function. For reciprocal of a single argument, see Reciprocal.
÷

Divide (÷
) is a dyadic scalar function which gives the arithmetic ratio of its arguments. Divide shares the glyph ÷
with the monadic arithmetic function Reciprocal, and its result is the left argument divided by the right argument.

Division is anti-commutative: swapping the arguments yield the reciprocal of the result.
Reduction and scan
Reduction with Division gives the alternating product.
