What does ÷ mean?
Das Geteiltzeichen ÷, medizinhistorisch und buchdruckerisch auch als Obelus bezeichnet, wurde 1659 vom Schweizer Mathematiker Johann Rahn zur Kennzeichnung der Division eingeführt. Die grafische Form visualisiert einen Bruchstrich mit je einem Punkt für Zähler und Nenner.
In fortgeschrittener Hochschulmathematik dominiert zwar der Schrägstrich oder Bruchstrich, doch auf einfachen Taschenrechnern und im Grundschulunterricht bleibt der Obelus das führende Rechenzeichen.
