The division sign is a mathematical symbol used to represent the operation of division. It is commonly depicted in two ways: 1. **Obelus (÷)**: This is the most recognizable division symbol, often used in elementary mathematics. For example, the expression \\( 6 ÷ 2 \\) denotes that 6 is divided by 2. 2. **Slash (/)**: This symbol is frequently used in more advanced mathematics and programming contexts.
