What does ÷ mean?
El símbolo de división ÷, conocido históricamente como óbelo, fue adoptado para representar la operación aritmética de división en 1659 por el matemático suizo Johann Rahn. Consiste en una barra horizontal flanqueada por dos puntos simétricos, simulando visualmente una fracción con numerador y denominador.
Aunque en matemáticas avanzadas y álgebra abstracta suele preferirse la barra oblicua o la fracción vertical, el óbelo sigue siendo el signo primario en teclados de calculadoras y libros de texto de educación primaria.
