/

The / mathematical operator performs decimal point division on a numerical value.

Syntax

return_value = number / divisor

Number value can be any literal or variable numerical type.
Divisor (second value) must not be a value of 0 to .5. This will create a "Division by zero" error! due to CINT rounding.
Return values can be any literal or variable numerical type, but SINGLE or DOUBLE type decimal point returns are likely.
Values returned may be expressed using exponential or scientific notation using E for SINGLE or D for DOUBLE precision.
Use the \ integer division operator to guarantee INTEGER or LONG return values.
Division and multiplication operations are performed before addition and subtraction in Qbasic's order of operations.
