Is there a divide symbol on a pc keyboard (not /)?

Answer 1

No / is the universal Code for Divide

If you wish to have a divide sign on say a piece or work in MS Word you can find it located in the symbols...

Or press alt + 0247

÷

In EXCEL however for mathmatical function / must be used...

Answer 2

Nope.

You can find the divide symbol in Character Map or Symbols.

Â¼Â½Â¾â…”⅜⅛⅝⅞

Answer 3

Not on the keyboard but when in a word document you can insert a symbol. Click on insert then symbol then chose "wingdings" from the drop down box, you should see the ÷ then click on insert. You can then cut and paste this to any document as I've just done.

Answer 4

In Word select "Symbol" from the "insert" on the toolbar. Select the divide , press shortcut key and select a button you don't use to be the shortcut key.

Answer 5

Not on the keyboad you will find it on the symbol font. See all the chararcters for the symobl font via the character map in windows

Answer 6

try ALT+246

There are loads of symbols available like the degrees sign, have a look at my link.

They should work on most desktop computers, but for some reason not on my lap top...

Answer 7

Try character map in start > programs > accessories > system tools.

Hope this helps, there's hundreds of symbols in there!

Answer 8

depends on the character set you are using (ie, Arial, Times New Roman, Courier etc)

but it should appear by holding alt, type the numbers and let go of alt:
Alt + 0247
÷
÷

Answer 9

Try [alt]246 or [Insert] go down to [Synbols] and search the symbol you want to use.

Answer 10

No. In most computer programming languages / is divide anyway.
