division signs
Fraction operation markers
Division signs are symbols indicating mathematical division.
The most common is the obelus (÷), a horizontal line with dots above and below, used mainly in elementary education: 12 ÷ 4 = 3.
The forward slash (/) serves the same purpose and dominates in computing and everyday notation: 12/4.
In formal mathematics, division typically appears as a fraction or with the division bar.
