A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula. As formulas are entirely constituted with symbols of various types, many symbols are needed for ...
For example, to change 1 / 4 to a decimal expression, divide 1 by 4 (" 4 into 1 "), to obtain exactly 0.25. To change 1 / 3 to a decimal expression, divide 1... by 3 (" 3 into 1... "), and stop when the desired precision is obtained, e.g., at four places after the decimal separator (ten-thousandths) as 0.3333.
Other symbols for division include the slash or solidus /, the colon:, and the fraction bar (the horizontal bar in a vertical fraction). [3] [4] 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 ÷ sign "should not be used" for division.

1 Control-C has typically been used as a "break" or "interrupt" key. 2 Control-D has been used to signal "end of file" for text typed in at the terminal on Unix / Linux systems. Windows, DOS, and older minicomputers used Control-Z for this purpose. 3 Control-G is an artifact of the days when teletypes were in use. Important messages could be ...
The slash is a slanting line punctuation mark /.It is also known as a stroke, a solidus, a forward slash and several other historical or technical names.Once used as the equivalent of the modern period and comma, the slash is now used to represent division and fractions, as a date separator, or to connect alternative terms.
In mathematics, the first symbol is mainly used in Anglophone countries to represent the mathematical operation of division and is called an obelus. [3] In editing texts, the second symbol, also called a dagger mark † is used to indicate erroneous or dubious content; [ 4 ] [ 5 ] or as a reference mark or footnote indicator. [ 6 ]
