what is the sign for division

Answer provided by our tutors

Division can simply be used with the forward slash character, '/'. A best practice can be enclosing the numerator or denominator in parentheses, as in "(x^2+2x-3)/(x+3)". As another alternative is to use the keyboard GUI, as shown below, from which a different division symbol may be selected. It can also depend on whether you are using a standard browser or one of the phone devices (iPhone, iPad, Android, etc.).
