The division sign (÷) is a symbol consisting of a short horizontal line with a dot above and another dot below, used to indicate mathematical division. This usage, though widespread, is neither universal nor recommended: the ISO 80000-2 standard for mathematical notation recommends only the solidus (/) or fraction bar for division, or the colon for ratios; it says that this symbol 'should not be used' for division.[1]
In mathematics[edit]
The obelus, an historical glyph consisting of a horizontal line with (or without) one or more dots, was first used as a symbol for division in 1659 in the algebra book Teutsche Algebra by Johann Rahn. Some think that John Pell, who edited the book, may have been responsible for this use of the symbol. Other symbols for division include the slash or solidus (/), the colon (:), and the fraction bar (the horizontal bar in a vertical fraction).
In Italy and Russia, this sign is sometimes used to denote a range of values, in engineering contexts.[citation needed] Historically, an oblique form of the obelus, ⁒ ('Commercial minus sign'), has also been used to represent subtraction in Northern Europe; such usage continued in some parts of Europe (including Norway and, until fairly recently, Denmark).[2]
The ISO 80000-2 standard for mathematical notation recommends only the solidus or fraction bar for division, or the colon for ratios; it says that the obelus 'should not be used' for division.[3]
In computer systems[edit]
The symbol was assigned to code point 0xF7 in ISO 8859-1, as the 'division sign' and has the code point U+00F7.[4] In HTML, it can be encoded as ÷ or ÷ (at HTML level 3.2), or as ÷.
Keyboard entry[edit]
In Microsoft Windows, this division sign is produced with Alt+0247 (or 246 with no zero) on the number pad, or by pressing Alt Gr+⇧ Shift++ when an appropriate keyboard layout is in use. In classic Mac OS and macOS, it is produced with ⌥ Option+/.
On UNIX-based systems using Screen or X with a Compose key enabled, it can be produced by composing : (colon) and - (hyphen/minus). It may also be input by Unicode code-point on GTK-based applications by pressing Control+⇧ Shift+U, followed by the code point in hexadecimal (F7) and terminated by ↵ Enter.
In LaTeX, the obelus is obtained by div.
In Chrome OS (with International/Extended keyboard setting) AltGr+⇧ Shift+>.
