  3. 3
    Double-tap the cell where you want to place the result. Any blank cell will do.
  4. 4
    Type =.
  5. 5
    Type the division problem in the format A1/B1. The “/” symbol indicates division in Sheets. Replace “A1” with the dividend and “B1” with the divisor (the number or value you’re dividing by).
    • You can also replace the cell name with a number. For example, to divide the value of A1 by 3, your formula would look like =A1/3.
    • You can do multiple math operations in a single cell by surrounding compound operations by parentheses. For example, =(B3+C3+D3)/D3 will divide the sum of cells B3, C3, and D3 by 3.
  6. 6
    Tap the Enter key on the keyboard. The result of your division problem now appears in the cell.
