What does ÷ mean?
Le symbole de division ÷, historiquement nommé obélus, a été introduit pour figurer l'opération arithmétique de division en 1659 par le mathématicien suisse Johann Rahn. Son tracé stylisé représente une fraction explicite où deux points figurent le numérateur et le dénominateur de part et d'autre d'une barre médiane.
Même si dans l'enseignement secondaire la barre de fraction horizontale ou oblique est privilégiée, l'obélus reste universellement présent sur les touches des calculatrices et dans les manuels de primaire.
